French architecture. "Ms drawings by Desgodetz [Antoine Babuty]." Photographs, undated

These files, consisting primarily of photographs and notes, consist of materials that relate generally or specifically to subjects about which Kimball wrote. The files are identified by subject, and portions of titles set in quotations represent Kimball's original folder description. Many of the "French architecture" folders contain photographs of figure illustrations Kimball used in several of his articles about Versailles published in Gazette des Beaux-Arts. A few additional photographs pertain to his book, The Creation of the Rococo. However, most of these folders also include notes or correspondence dating after the publication dates of any of those writings but prior to his 1952 contribution to "Art and Architecture of France." Three of the folders identified as "French art and architecture" document Kimball's research activities primarily while he was in Paris, and which he classified as "current," "old," "to do" and "done."
