Matthieu-Prosper Morey architectural drawings, ca. 1836-1837.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79369159

One hundred and twelve architectural record drawings of well-known churches (primarily Medieval), monuments, and antiquities in Italy. These are probably student drawings; in 1836 Morey traveled to southern Italy and Sicily with Victor Baltard, and in 1836-1837 to Greece and Turkey with Desire Raoul-Rochette. The volume contains a full set of drawings of the Baptistry at Florence, reconstruction of the tomb of Theron at Agrigento, watercolors of Greek architectural fragments, and similar subjects. Several of the drawings are copies of plates of Pompeian houses by Raoul-Rochette. Drawings include titles, notes and measurements.

1 v. (folio) : pencil, pen and ink, watercolor.
