Title:

Album of drawings for country houses and garden structures, France

Date:

first half of the 19th century

Description:

- 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).
