A collection of Original Architectural Plans

Three bound groups of Architectural Plans A total of 13 water colour architectural plans

Paris: N/A, 1908. A lovely collection of architectural studies in ink and water colour by Ledonné. It is not clear whether these are studies as a draughtsman working for Eugené Dr Chifflot, or as an Architectural student (or perhaps a combination). The three groups are as follows: (1) Résumé des Constructions - Perspective lineaire des Prof. F Julien. 4 Sheets. One is a water colour of a fountain on art card, signed by Ledonné and with the éleve signed by Eu. Chifflot. Next is a perspective of the same, in red and black ink on architectural glassine, showing perspective lines (also signed by both). Next a epure de perspective of the fountain in red and black in (also signed by both). Finally, a section of the profile and plan, signed by Ledonné and professor Julien. There is a blank cover sheet (signed by Ledonné and Chifflot). Each sheet is 65 x 48cm, signed by both Ledonné and Chifflot, and in good, clean condition. They are held together by brass rivets to the top edge. (2) Projet de Stéréotomie un Chalet dans les Montagnes. 5 sheets. First is a water colour elevation and cut out of a chalet design. Second is a red, black and water colour design and perspective of the chalet staircase. Next a water colour detail of the joints and woodwork of the chalet. Next are water colour details of the woodwork and roof beams. Finally, details of the passages and brickwork. Each sheet is 65 x 48cm, signed by both Ledonné and Chifflot, and in good, clean condition. They are held together by brass rivets to the top edge. (3) 4 sheets of designs for a pavilion of honour. The first is an elevation and details in water colour. (This has some staining and edgewear to it). Second a plan and elevation of the interior with perspective lines. next is a wate rcolour perspective and elevation of the lunette, Finally, the stereotomie of the staircase. (showing the process of the assembly of the complex structure). These three sheets are in good, clean condition. Each sheet is 65 x 48cm, signed by both Ledonné and Chifflot. They are held together by brass rivets to the top edge. We can find little about Ledonné. A Frenchman, he was in American between 1899 and 1903, and later returned to France and worked as a draughtsman or architect under the architect Eugené Dr Chifflot (Brother of Jules Léon Chifflot).

. Une belle collection de 9 études au crayon par Ledonné. Il s'agit principalement d'esquisses pour des études dans une Ecole Nationale en France, mais certaines font partie de sa soumission pour le certificat "Form Drawing" de la Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Ces feuilles sont accompagnées d'un certificat imprimé et gaufré de l'université. Les feuilles comprennent 9 dessins au crayon, signés au recto, au verso ou aux deux. Certains sont des études de caractère de statues, dans un style grec. Quelques-uns sont des esquisses d'éléments architecturaux. La plupart des feuilles ont un format de 48 x 31 cm. Elles sont toutes en bon état, propres, mais certaines portent quelques marques et l'une d'entre elles présente des plis et des déchirures sur le bord (sans incidence sur l'image). Celles qui ont été soumises à l'école portent deux cachets, l'un pour l'école et l'autre indiquant la note / les points attribués. Les cachets ne figurent pas sur les images. Toutes les images sont d'un excellent niveau et peuvent être encadrées. Plusieurs de ces photos ont été présentées dans le cadre d'un cours à la Cooper Union. Cette institution a été fondée par l'inventeur, l'industriel et le philanthrope Peter Cooper à New York en 1858 (d'après le certificat, 1859 d'après leur site web) et existe encore aujourd'hui. Le certificat comporte une jolie vignette gravée représentant le grand hall de l'établissement. Il est signé à l'encre par le directeur et le président du collège, et porte un sceau estampé à l'aveugle. Il montre que Ledonné était inscrit à la Free Night School, et vraisemblablement à une école d'architecture (bien que ce sujet ait été appelé designing). Nous ne savons pas grand-chose sur Ledonné. Français, il a séjourné aux États-Unis entre 1899 et 1903, puis est rentré en France et a travaillé comme dessinateur ou architecte sous la direction de l'architecte Eugené Dr Chifflot (frère de Jules Léon Chifflot).
