Paul Engelmann architectural drawings and related correspondence, 1926-1962.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145985712

Preliminary designs for a house in Vienna for Margarethe Stonborough, sister of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, with letters to and from Engelmann. The album of sketches was prepared by Engelmann in 1926 as a present to Frau Stonborough. It is entitled "Skizzenbuch/April-Mai 1926," with an inscription on the title page, "Frau Margarete Stonborough zu Weihnachten 1926 von P.E." The sketchbook contains 79 drawings glued on the album pages. All sketches are in pencil with the exception of two ink drawings. The drawings consist of plans, including one measured plan (scale 1:100) dated 18 May 1926, elevations, and interior and exterior perspectives. The form of the house changed dramatically from its initial conception to the adopted plan.
