Description:
- This album contains large rendered drawings executed by Hubert Rohault de Fleury between 1800 and 1802 for architectural competitions held at the École Spéciale de Peinture, Sculpture et Architecture. These include renderings submitted by him for the 1800 Grand Prix programme for an "École Nationale des Beaux-Arts" (DR1974:0002:013:002 and DR1974:0002:013:008), for which he won a "deuxième Grand Prix", and for the 1801 Grand Prix Programme for "Un forum ou place public dédié à la Paix" (DR1974:0002:013:001 and DR1974:0002:013:007). David Le Roy, professor of architectural theory at the École, has signed and dated all four drawings on the verso, which indicates that the sheets were blank before being completed "en loge" (Levine, 99 and Perouse de Montclos, 11). Drawings DR1974:0002:013:004, DR1974:0002:013:005 (front and rear elevations for the same building), and DR1974:0002:013:006 are probably renderings for either a Grand Prix competition or a "projet rendu". The subject matter depicted in drawings DR1974:0002:013:004 - DR1974:0002:013:006 remains unclear. Bergdoll suggests that the drawings may be for Grand Prix programmes, including a "Ministère des Relations Extérieures" and a warehouse (Bergdoll, "HUBERT ... ", 1985), however, the former is depicted in DR1974:0002:013:007 and is therefore part of the larger 1801 Grand Prix programme for "Un forum ou place dédié à la Paix" (1801). A warehouse complex was never chosen as a Grand Prix programme during 1800-1802, Hubert's student years at the École (Macmillan). A recent Master's thesis suggests that Hubert Rohault de Fleury may have begun his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1798 rather than 1800 (Amouroux, 3), in which case the unidentified drawings could be for the Grand Prix competitions held in 1798 and 1799 for a "Bourse pour une ville maritime" and an "Élysée ou cimetière public". The drawing for a fountain in honour of General Desaix, place Thionville (DR1974:0002:013:003) is possibly an entry for a "Prix d'émulation", in which monuments were a favorite category (Jacques, 61).

Description:
- This album contains student drawings by Hubert Rohault de Fleury executed at the École spéciale de peinture, sculpture et architecture, Paris (1798-1802), including drawings for the Grand Prix Competitions of 1800, 1801 and 1802, the Concours d'essai, the Concours d'émulation of 1800 and 1801, and other undetermined competitions. The drawings illustrate all stages of the design and competition process, ranging from preliminary sketches and esquisses to finished renderings, but do not include the renderings submitted to the Grand Prix Competitions. Drawings for the conversion of the Église de la Madeleine into a Temple de la Gloire (ca. 1806-1807) include line and wash drawings. Hubert's 1800 Grand Prix entry for an École nationale des beaux-arts was awarded the "deuxième Grand Prix" and this album includes: the esquisse; a handwritten copy of the programme; 11 large-scale line drawings - sections, elevations, and details of the ornamentation (DR1974:0002:012:008 R; DR1974:0002:012:012 R; DR1974:0002:012:037, DR1974:0002:012:039, DR1974:0002:012:041 - DR1974:0002:012:049). Two other drawings depict an École des beaux-arts, but they do not conform to the esquisse of Hubert's 1800 Grand Prix entry (DR1974:0002:012:012 V and DR1974:0002:012:013). Hubert's 1801 Grand Prix entry for a forum or public square dedicated to peace, is represented by the esquisse and four elevations, one coloured with wash (DR1974:0002:012:009 R/V - DR1974:0002:012:011 R). Studies of triumphal arches, probably relate to this project (DR1974:0002:012:011 V). Hubert's winning 1802 Grand Prix entry for a public fair with a hall for the exhibition of products of industry located on the banks of a large river is represented by an elevation and sectional elevation for the esquisse; 3 prints; finished plans, one of which is possibly part of the esquisse; elevations; sectional elevations; and one section (DR1974:0002:012:001 R/V - DR1974:0002:012:006 R/V:001-004). Three drawings which are apparently for public fairs are perhaps studies for the 1802 Grand Prix Competition (DR1974:0002:012:007 R:001-003). Also included are Hubert's entries in the Concours d'essai for each of these Grand Prix Competitions. The presence of "devises" on several drawings indicates they are the submitted competition entries: a school or college for the Concours d'émulation of 25 June 1801, for which Rohault de Fleury won a medal, a temple, a lycée, an opera house, a public bath, a sepulchral chapel, and possibly an exchange. An uncharacteristic nocturnal elevation is possibly for a cenotaph dedicated to Isaac Newton (DR1974:0002:012:014). Rohault de Fleury's design for the conversion of the Église de la Madeleine is represented by two plans (one with an elevation) drawn on engraved plans of the Madeleine, three sketch plans, a section, an elevation of a capital and other ornamentation, and an engraved plan of the designs by Pierre Contant d'Ivry and Guillaume Martin Couture for the same project.

Description:
- 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).

Description:
- This group comprises two portfolios entitled Arabesques et Mosaïques (DR1974:0002:032:001 - DR1974:0002:032:048 and Ornements et architecture Gothique (DR1974:0002:032:049 - DR1974:0002:032:066). The portfolio entitled Arabesques et Mosaïques comprises 46 sheets, mostly ornament drawings and interior views which are partially or fully coloured with watercolour, or perhaps gouache. Geometric, interlacing and foliate ornament, many apparently of Islamic origin, and arabesques predominate. Inscriptions on some of the drawings indicate their sources which include mosques in Cairo, various buildings in Italy and Sicily and and arabesques from the Palazzo del Tè and Palazzo ducale in Mantua. A number of drawings are uninscribed and consequently the source of the ornament cannot be identified. The presence of inscribed numbers on some of the drawings suggests that they may have been copied or traced from books. Drawings DR1974:0002:032:034 - DR1974:0002:032:038, which depict two ancient tombs on mainland Italy and various architectural subjects in Sicily, are perhaps travel sketches. This portfolio also includes one sheet of drawings depicting pottery (DR1974:0002:032:028), and a partial side elevation and a detail of the entablature of a classical temple with polychrome ornament (DR1974:0002:032:029). -- The portfolio entitled Ornements Et architecture Gothique comprises 17 sheets, mostly graphite line drawings on tracing paper - some of which are probably tracings - depicting details of French and English Gothic and Romanesque architecture. This portfolio includes numerous drawings of capitals as well as other ornamented stone and wooden elements such as corbels, mouldings, finials and gargoyles. Inscriptions indicate the source of the detail on a number of the drawings. Also included in this portfolio is a sheet of numbered drawings of furniture (DR1974:0002:032:053), a longitudinal section of Cathédrale Sainte-Marie, Bayonne, France (DR1974:0002:032:056), and a frontal elevation of Freiburg Munster in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany (DR1974:0002:032:065).
