Album of plans, elevations and sections for the Théâtre-Italien, rue de la Paix, Paris

drawings executed in 1839, prints executed in 1838

- This album contains elevations, plans, and sections for Rohault de Fleury's unexecuted project to construct a new opera house for the Théâtre Royal Italien on the site of the Hôtel du Timbre and the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères. The finished nature of the drawings, and their cohesive representation, suggests that they are presentation drawings for a prospective client(s). The unbound engraving and transfer lithograph (DR1974:0002:019:001 and DR1974:0002:019:002) relate directly to the subject matter of the album, however, they are probably later additions as they do not appear in the table of contents.

• presentation drawings (proposals)

Prints include one engraving and one transfer lithograph with wash, graphite, and pen and black ink
