Architectural and decorative drawings by Joseph Michael Gandy and John Peter Deering (known as John Peter Gandy). Collection includes three watercolors of imaginary architectural views, two of which are related to scenes from plays (Shakespeare and Aeschylus); one shows an expansive landscape with hills, a river, a city wall, and numerous neoclassical buildings with long colonnades. Also, eighteen sketches, some with color, including ten drawings reconstructing the Greek Doric temples at Paestum (on paper watermarked 1818 and possibly by the architect's brother John Peter [Gandy] Deering), a series of developmental sketches for an imaginary classical cityscape (with an initial plan), and designs for furnishings (canopied beds, fireplace fittings, etc.). With: Watercolor reconstruction of the Mystic Temple of Ceres at Eleusis, in Attica, ca. 1812, signed by John Peter (Gandy) Deering.
