DR1974:0002:021:001-033
Description:
- This album contains studies by Charles Rohault de Fleury of the five classical orders. The majority of the drawings are from his student years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (1822-1825). Others are from his student years at the Ecole Polytechnique (1820-1822), or drawings executed while he was a practicing architect (after 1825). Although the drawings are not physically organized into categories within the album, they can be divided into three groups according to their architectural sources: paradigmatic examples taken from named monuments of Greek and Roman architecture, examples taken from unnamed architectural monuments or treatises, and examples after 16th century Italian and French interpretors of the classical tradition, such as Palladio, Serlio, Vignola and Delorme. The only exception to these categories is the drawing of the "soubassement" for the pavilions of the Louvre (DR1974:0002:021:032 R/V). Most of the drawings focus on the proportions of the orders, their disposition within the portico in terms of intercolumnar spacing and number of columns, and the proper moulding and ornamentation particular to each order. This album also contains four etchings of similar subject matter by Gaitte, Stévigny, Piranesi, and an unknown early 19th century etcher.

DR1962:0006
Description:
- DR1962:0006 shows a perspective view of a portion of a formal garden terrace laid out symmetrically before a three-storey circular structure. The terrace, which is approached on axis by two steps flanked by sculpted river allegories, is centred on a circular basin and backed by a wall surmounted by potted plants, mostly palm trees and pineapple plants; the middle section of the rear wall curves back concentric to the terrace basin. Beyond the terrace wall and on line with the steps and basin rises the circular structure. With its Corinthian peristyle, this structure has the form of an antique circular temple, such as the so-called "Temple of Vesta" at Tivoli (first century B.C.). Unlike such classical models, however, the columns of the peristyle are set on tall rusticated pedestals that flare outward as they descend to the ground, the entablature carries a balustrade topped by a series of sculpted figures, and the whole is crowned by a tall, slender lantern (although no dome is visible). Within the peristyle, the inner wall is opened regularly by two storeys of windows, each with its own frame and pediment. The overall effect of this structure is not dissimilar to that of James Gibb's Radcliffe Camera, Oxford (1739-49). - In the foreground of DR1962:0006 appear two groups of figures: that on the left consisting of two gardeners carrying a potted pineapple plant, and that on the right consisting of a seated woman attended by a man, a woman (the latter shading her mistress with a parasol), and a figure, apparently a physician, who offers the seated woman a bowl of fruit.

Description:
- This album consists primarily of design development drawings and the architect's copies of the working drawings for Hôtel Soltykoff. The hôtel consisted of a single rectangular pavilion with a central porte cochère and a rear courtyard with an outbuilding. The principal façade facing rue Saint-Arnaud (now rue Volney) and the interior were lavishly decorated. The structure of the hôtel consisted of load-bearing masonry combined with cast-iron columns, iron beams, and interior wood framing. The exterior was finished with cut stone. The album contains plans, elevations, details and sections, and full-scale drawings of the architectural elements, ornamentation, as well as joinery. Many of the drawings and transfer lithographs are inscribed with both the date of the drawing/original and the date of contract. Revisions, which are also often dated, have been made either directly on the drawing or on pieces of paper attached to the sheets. Inscriptions indicate that in some cases these revisions were added after the construction of the building. Also included are preliminary drawings (DR1974:0002:003:028 R/V), and detailed interior views, some of which are partially coloured with watercolour (DR1974:0002:003:049, DR1974:0002:003:069, DR1974:0002:003:078). The drawings and transfer lithographs have been grouped, possibly by the compiler of the album, according to the part of the building represented, and by the type of construction: stonework, woodwork, framework, and ironwork. Unbound material inserted into the album includes four large unbound full-scale preliminary sketches for architectural ornament, possibly for Hôtel Soltykoff (DR1974:0002:003:061 - DR1974:0002:003:064) and two drawings for a terrace and staircase, apparently not for Hôtel Soltykoff (DR1974:0002:003:003 and DR1974:0002:003:042).

Description:
- This album consists mostly of preliminary, design development and presentation drawings - plans, sections and elevations - for a château for M. de Lorgeril at Motte Beaumanoir, Brittany, and for renovations for a house for M. le Dhuy, perhaps in Paris. These buildings are in an austere classical style with minimal ornament and in some cases, Doric columns. Structural drawings, details of architectural elements, and coloured elevations for the Empire style interiors are included for both projects, as well as drawings for Empire style furniture for M. le Dhuy. A perspective and plan for a sepulchral chapel for the de Lorgeril family (DR1974:0002:007:030) are also included. The album contains several documents: notes by Rohault de Fleury, mostly illegible, which probably concern project(s) for M. de Lorgeril; detailed cost estimates for two country houses and a pavilion, possibly variant schemes for a single project; and letters to Hubert Rohault de Fleury from M. de Lorgeril concerning plans by the latter for an apartment house in Rennes (rue de la Poissonière and rue Beaumanoir) which he sent to Rohault de Fleury for his criticism and correction. M. de Lorgeril also sought Rohault de Fleury's advice on the municipal affairs of Rennes. There are five unidentified drawings, possibly for a hôtel for the de Lorgeril family in Rennes (DR1974:0002:007:037 - DR1974:0002:007:036). Four drawings for an unidentified country house may possibly be for a project of 1811 for a M. des Dederseul (name only partially legible), if the inscriptions on the page preceding them in the album are related to these drawings (DR1974:0002:007:037 - DR1974:0002:007:040).

Description:
- This album contains mostly design development and presentation drawings - plans, sections and elevations - for three projects: structures for Parc de Clichy, an "entrepôt de vins" with a "guinguette", and a "maison du blanchisseur". Structures proposed for Parc de Clichy include one - or possibly two - washhouses, a sewer, a reservoir and a manège (riding school). There appears to be two alternate designs for the manège and three for the reservoir. The first reservoir design is a simple building with arched entrances and a small balcony (DR1974:0002:009:020 - DR1974:0002:009:025); the second design is more elaborate, consisting of a rectangular building enclosing the reservoir basin and two square two-storey buildings with Ionic columns and quoins (DR1974:0002:009:031 - DR1974:0002:009:035). The first manège design (DR1974:0002:009:011 - DR1974:0002:009:019) consists of an unornamented rectangular building with a central octagonal space. The final proposal for structures at Parc de Clichy in this album (DR1974:0002:009:036 - DR1974:0002:009:049) incorporates both the reservoir and the second design for the manège, one on each side of rue de Lavoir. The reservoir is virtually identical to the first reservoir design, and the manège complements the reservoir in its exterior appearance. Many of the drawings for structures for Parc de Clichy depict the hydraulic systems. Twenty-three drawings for the "entrepôt de vins" include variant designs for site layout and buildings (probably warehouses) and for the adjacent "guinguette" (open air cafe). Parc de Clichy and the "entrepôt de vins" were perhaps at the same location, as indicated by drawings DR1974:0002:009:011, DR1974:0002:009:069 and DR1974:0002:009:078. An unidentified building on site plans for the "entrepôt de vins" is similar in plan and siting to the first manège design for Parc de Clichy. The relationship of the five variant designs for a "maison du blanchisseur" to the other projects in this album is unclear. All of the buildings in the album were intended to be finished in stone or a combination of stone, brick and/or tiles.

Album of drawings and prints for a Hôtel de préfecture and a Hôtel de ville, Poitiers, France
DR1974:0002:020:001-050
Description:
- This album contains drawings by Charles Rohault de Fleury which range from preliminary sketches to finished drawings - mostly plans, elevations and sections - for unexecuted projects for a Hôtel de préfecture and a Hôtel de ville for the city of Poitiers (Département de Vienne). Highly finished conceptual drawings dated September 1859 depict the general appearance and layout of the Hôtel de préfecture, however, the plans pertain primarily to the Hôtel du Préfet (DR1974:0002:020:003 - DR1974:0002:020:011). Transfer lithographs of working drawings for the Hôtel de préfecture dated November 1859 have detailed measurements showing the layout and construction of all the major building components (DR1974:0002:020:014 - DR1974:0002:020:018 and DR1974:0002:020:020). Also included are a plan and elevation dated February 1860 (DR1974:0002:020:013 and DR1974:0002:020:019). A site plan and perspective view for this Louis XIIIth style hôtel de préfecture have detailed keys (DR1974:0002:020:001 and DR1974:0002:020:002). The utilitarian structures for the Hôtel de préfecture, such as the portico pavilions and the Archives building, are constructed in a sparser style than the Hôtel du Préfet. The project for the Hôtel de ville is much less developed than that for the Hôtel de préfecture. Most of the drawings are unbound at the end of the album (DR1974:0002:020:035 - DR1974:0002:020:050). The two designs for this project, dated October 1859 and December 1859, are similar and depict an Italianate (Francis I ?) two-storey arcuated façade with pedimented windows, and coupled Corinthian columns. The construction materials are brick and stone. The two designs differ in the disposition of their flanking pavilions: the earlier project is housed under one roof (DR1974:0002:020:037), while the later project shows separate roofs for the pavilions (DR1974:0002:020:040 and DR1974:0002:020:042). Site plan DR1974:0002:020:012 indicates the proposed locations of the Hôtel de préfecture and Hôtel de ville: the former is situated near the train station between rue des Carmelites and boulevard Solferino, and the latter on a newly created square just west of the Hôtel de préfecture between rue des Grandes Écoles and rue de la Mairie.

Description:
- This album consists mainly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mostly plans, sections, and elevations - for eight unexecuted projects for an addition to the Cabinet d'histoire naturelle at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris. Seven of these projects are for a Galerie de zoologie, and one is for a Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie. Three types of plans, all classically-inspired, are developed for these projects, which date from 1838 to 1862. The most completely documented project, dated 9 January 1846, is represented in four pen and ink plans and forty transfer lithographs. This proposal consists of a U-shaped building surrounding a courtyard with a double row of galleries on the ground floor of the main wing. The principal façade has a colonnade of engaged Corinthian columns with pedimented entrances at each end. Two projects similar in plan to the 1846 project are dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:007, DR1974:0002:024:009, DR1974:0002:024:011), and 1842 (DR1974:0002:024:005 - DR1974:0002:024:006). Two projects have U-shaped plans with central courtyards and a single row of galleries, one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:023, DR1974:0002:024:032, DR1974:0002:024:035 and DR1974:0002:024:038), and a second, for the Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie, dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:015, DR1974:0002:024:017 and DR1974:0002:024:020). Three projects have plans with a single row of galleries surrounding a central gallery: one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:026 - DR1974:0002:024:028); a second possibly dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:043 and DR1974:0002:024:046); and a third dated 1862 (with an attached note dated 1864) (DR1974:0002:024:059-60, DR1974:0002:024:063, DR1974:0002:024:066, DR1974:0002:024:069, and DR1974:0002:024:073-074). Eight alternate plans for a Galerie de zoologie on two sheets, DR1974:0002:024:002 and DR1974:0002:024:003, include some of the designs developed in this album. Two site plans engraved by Charles-Bonaparte Marlier (DR1974:0002:024:049 - DR1974:0002:024:050), have additions by Rohault de Fleury showing his ideas for the Muséum. Also included are a site plan for a projected addition to the Galerie de minéralogie et de géologie (DR1974:0002:024:056), a transfer lithograph of elevations for the Galerie d'anatomie comparée (DR1974:0002:024:051), and a sketch for a greenhouse (DR1974:0002:024:001).

Description:
- This album consists mainly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mostly plans, sections, and elevations - for eight unexecuted projects for an addition to the Cabinet d'histoire naturelle at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris. Seven of these projects are for a Galerie de zoologie, and one is for a Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie. Three types of plans, all classically-inspired, are developed for these projects, which date from 1838 to 1862. The most completely documented project, dated 9 January 1846, is represented in four pen and ink plans and forty transfer lithographs. This proposal consists of a U-shaped building surrounding a courtyard with a double row of galleries on the ground floor of the main wing. The principal façade has a colonnade of engaged Corinthian columns with pedimented entrances at each end. Two projects similar in plan to the 1846 project are dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:007, DR1974:0002:024:009, DR1974:0002:024:011), and 1842 (DR1974:0002:024:005 - DR1974:0002:024:006). Two projects have U-shaped plans with central courtyards and a single row of galleries, one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:023, DR1974:0002:024:032, DR1974:0002:024:035 and DR1974:0002:024:038), and a second, for the Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie, dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:015, DR1974:0002:024:017 and DR1974:0002:024:020). Three projects have plans with a single row of galleries surrounding a central gallery: one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:026 - DR1974:0002:024:028); a second possibly dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:043 and DR1974:0002:024:046); and a third dated 1862 (with an attached note dated 1864) (DR1974:0002:024:059-60, DR1974:0002:024:063, DR1974:0002:024:066, DR1974:0002:024:069, and DR1974:0002:024:073-074).
