Recueil de morceaux d'architecture et de divers fragmens de monumens antiques faite en Italie...(album of architectural drawings), ca. 1753-1785.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82594124

An assemblage of ca. two hundred sketches, with some fully realized drawings. Includes drawings of architectural fragments and details (some with measurements), two views, ancient and Baroque sculpture, urns and coffers, and designs for fountains and buildings. The album appears to be compiled from drawings made during his journeys to Italy. He made his first trip to Rome in 1753. A few drawings show details of Paris buildings and were made much later. This sketchbook may have been assembled after Peyre's death, by his younger brother.
