DR1974:0002:004:001-022
Description:
- This book contains 8 pages of text primarily describing projects by Charles Rohault de Fleury for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. The text is followed by a lithograph after Lemaitre, which depicts the exterior of the "serres chaudes", and by 14 prints engraved/etched by Marlier depicting the buildings designed by Rohault de Fleury for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle between 1833 and 1839. The "serres chaudes" are illustrated by 8 prints: interior perspectives, plans, elevations, sections and details of the prefabricated columns. Four prints are included for the Galerie de minéralogie et de géologie, the monkey house and the reservoirs - mostly elevations, plans and sections. Also included is a site plan of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and one print of comparative examples - mostly plans, sections and details - of English "serres chaudes", including the Warm House and the Temperate House at the Colosseum in London, the Temperate House at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, Camellia House and Palm House at Loddiges Nursery in Hackney, and a glasshouse with a semidome, also in Hackney.

DR1980:0060:002
Description:
- This first floor plan, with the perspective (DR1980:0060:001) and the second floor plan (DR1980:0060:003) form a set of early presentation drawings. The scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file, de Long report). This plan indicates reworking in the porch/stair and service entrance areas which appear in Hitchcock's book (plate 201) and were built as sketched. The fireplace and seat in the living room were shifted and subsequently built as sketched, as was the ice room. The wall added to the right was shifted back in the final Hitchcock plan. The entry behind the livingroom has sketched-in doors at the rear, as seen in the Hitchcock drawing -- other doors do not yet appear, nor does the garden court. The house became more private in the final adjustments to the site. Wright's further changes are: the wall extending left was crossed out; a freehand wall is roughed in to right; heavy masonry walls are roughed in to left over former wall. (There are other miscellaneous markings and crosshatchings in the reworking.)

DR1987:0026
Description:
- During the moving of the obelisk, Fontana issued two prints, DR1987:0026 & DR1987:0027. The first (this print), was published in March 1586 just prior to the lowering, and distributed with a companion tract by Filippo Pigafetta. It shows both the original and final positions of the obelisk as well as the device proposed by Fontana for its transportation. This involved the use of a twin timber tower (the castello, as it was called, is seen in the central portion of the print) that was erected on either side of the obelisk and was used for lowering and raising the monolith. The second print (DR1987:0027) appeared in August, during the raising, and showed the lowering of the obelisk, as it had occured in late April, with a detailed inventory of all the men and horses involved in the operation. The transportation was begun on 30 April and was completed on 10 September, according to Fontana's description of the process in his book, 'Della trasportione dell'obelisco vaticano' of 1590, a work illustrated by Bonifazio and Guerra, the two artists responsible for the execution of these prints.

Description:
This album comprises 28 albumen silver prints of monuments of Cambridge and the following description of views of Cambridge could apply to this album: "These views of Cambrige focus primarily on the University's great medieval colleges untouched by the additions, renovations and accretions of the twentieth century, but also document the uncluttered nature of the city itself in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Sprouting gargoyles vie for attention with gothic pinnacles, graceful bridges reflect themselves in the River Cam, and top-hatted gentlemen stroll through the snowy lanes of winter while labourers, messengers and apprentices confront the camera's gaze." (Cambridge Book and Print Gallery). The monuments depicted are the following: Jesus College. New Buildings; Cambridge Divinity Schools; Queen's College Entrance Gate; St. John's Chapel, from Trinity Backs (Summer); St. John's Chapel, from Trinity Backs (Winter); St. John's College. Bridge of Sighs; Queen's Bridge; Queen's Gardens; Pembroke College; Catherine's College; Emanuel College; Magdelen College; St. Peters College; Dowing College; Cains College.
