About this Item

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). .
