DR1974:0002:019:001-023
Description:
- 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 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.
