between 1800 and 1868
- The three portfolios of this group are entitled: Figures et Statues (DR1974:0002:031:001 - DR1974:0002:031:024), Architecture Antique Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:025 - DR1974:0002:031:043), and Architecture Moderne Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:044 - DR1974:0002:031:055). -- Portfolio Figures et Statues comprises primarily drawings of classical figures and architectural sculpture from both antique and 19th century sources. Few of the sources of these drawings are clearly identified, with the exception of Genie de la Liberté from the Colonne de Juillet (DR1974:0002:031:016:003). There are a number of drawings of sculpture from the 16th century tomb monument of Maximillian I in Innsbruck (DR1974:0002:031:017 - DR1974:0002:031:023:001-003). -- Portfolio Architecture Antique Mélanges comprises mostly architectural drawings from buildings or monuments in Pisa, Rome, Tivoli, Naples, Florence, Viterbo, and Nice. Also included are a reconstruction of Pliny the Younger's Villa Laurentine (DR1974:0002:031:043), an orthographic drawing of the L'arc des orfèvres (DR1974:0002:031:032:001-002), and an interior perspective of an imaginary church, perhaps inspired by Pugin (DR1974:0002:031:027). -- Portfolio Architecture Moderne Mélanges comprises drawings which represent the classical tradition of 19th century French and English architecture (Bergdoll, p. 2). The French subjects include the Palais de justice, Amiens (DR1974:0002:031:044:002), the Louvois fountain by Visconti, (DR1974:0002:031:049:002), the Arc du Carrousel (DR1974:0002:031:053:001), and the Vendome column (DR1974:0002:031:053:002). English architecture is represented by Charles Robert Cockerell's Hanover Chapel, Regent Street, London (DR1974:0002:031:054:001), and late Georgian\early Regency houses (DR1974:0002:031:045:001-002 and DR1974:0002:031:046:001-002). The drawings related to Amiens Cathedral (DR1974:0002:031:044:001-002) and the Cloaca Maxima (DR1974:0002:031:052:002) are notable exceptions to the contemporary contents of the folder.
