Building elements
Three half-elevations of dormer windows and, below, a horizontal decorative panel inscribed Monceau
RIBA125894
NOTES: The decorative panel is one of the brick and stone ornaments which decorated the moat pavilions of the Chateau de Montceaux.
(Top) Round-headed dormer window surmounted by triangular pediment; (below) three half-elevations of decorative elements
RIBA125896
NOTES: Although the top drawing is inscribed Paris, it is unidentified.
(Top) Two whole and one half-elevation of dormers; (below) part of a three-storey pavilion with part of an adjoining wing to the left
RIBA125898
NOTES: As part of the inscription Ton was written on this folio after binding it may belong to the two measured dormers at top left and centre. The inscription Macquelange on the lower drawing refers to Etienne Martellange, a Jesuit architect working in Dijon; this drawing, however, is unidentifiable.
Elaborate elevation of a pedimented double dormer window
RIBA125899
NOTES: The drawing is unidentifiable, but the cipher or armorial may be connected with the family of Feydeau de Brou.
Elevation of one and a half bays of a gallery built over an arcade and with lucarnes and oeils-de-boeuf in the attic storey
RIBA125901
NOTES: This is one of the drawings of designs related to the chateau of Ton in Lorraine. This is possibly an alternative design for the gallery seen in f.46v (RIBA125183).
Elevation of double dormer windows with broken triangular pediment covering both, military trophies on each side, and all surmounted by a fleur-de-lis and ducal coronet
