Album of drawings for country houses and garden structures, France
first half of the 19th century
- This album consists of drawings - mostly plans, elevations and sections - for several country houses in a classical style with Palladian influences, and nine garden pavilions, either classical or Chinese-inspired. The inscribed album title indicates that the houses were commissioned by duc Decazes, comte Anglès, and comte Treilhard. Drawings are inscribed with the names of duc Decazes and comte Anglès, but none are inscribed with the name of comte Treilhard. The drawings range from rough preliminary sketches and design development drawings - mostly line drawings - to presentation drawings, primarily finished drawings and renderings. Also included are preliminary designs for buildings near Vincennes commissioned by M. Brodelet (DR1974:0002:038:001 R/V - DR1974:0002:038:005) and a design for a greenhouse commissioned by comte Anglès (DR1974:0002:038:026 R).
Manuscripts include pen and brown ink on laid paper locally mounted on wove paper
