Album of drawings for architectural ornament and sculpture, including competition drawings submitted to the Concours d'émulation held at the École impériale des beaux-arts, Paris

1854-1868

- This album contains drawings of architectural ornament - mostly highly finished - by Charles and Georges Rohault de Fleury. Although primarily from unidentified sources (DR1974:0002:026:002 - DR1974:0002:026:025, and DR1974:0002:026:038), there are a few drawings with identified sources, and twelve drawings of architectural ornament submitted by Georges to the Concours d'émulation (monthly competitions) held at the École impériale des beaux-arts, Paris. The subject matter of the drawings of architectural ornament from unidentified sources consists of capitals, friezes, festoons, moldings, cartouches, and vegetal and floral ornament. Identified subject matter includes a Composite capital and entablature from the Louvre (DR1974:0002:026:024), details from the Temple of Jupiter Stator, Rome (DR1974:0002:026:007 and DR1974:0002:026:013), and a Corinthian capital from Hôtel Soltykoff, Paris (DR1974:0002:026:038). The drawings for the Concours d'émulation by Georges are numbered "1er" to "12e" and were submitted to concours dating from 16 June 1857 to 22 October 1858 (DR1974:0002:026:026 - DR1974:0002:026:037). An unbound sheet inserted in the front of the album may be a portrait of Charles Rohault de Fleury (DR1974:0002:026:001).
