gether with Károly Halász, but archival records mention no common property of theirs. 25 Their commissioners and contractors were as follows, respectively: Jakab Kauser and Károly Gerster in between Borjú utca and Víg utca; MA BC: 180/1865; Mihály Kraft and Ferenc Wieser, at Malom utca 3; MA BC: 707/1865, Endre Gabler and Antal Lohr at the Kerepesi út tollhouse, MABC: 715/1865, Lukács Szvoboda and Károly Hild at Kerepesi út 43; MA BC: 175/1866. Cf. Hidvégi, Violetta: Pest város Építő Bizottmányának Iratai. Repertórium. Budapest: BFL, 2004, pp. 138, 155, 165. 26 "Permission granted to Mr. Ferenc Kugler for building a sculptural studio at the corner of 5 Pacsirta utca according to the plan herewith attached, which is guaranteed by architect Pál Schusbeck, and for which 2 florins fee was paid under number 1411 at the finance office, under the condition that, as the building shall be temporary, and aesthetically no such building can be permitted to stand on the street line, the building shall be pulled up at least six feet away from the wall on the border of the lot, and shall be covered with a flame-resisting roof. Done at Pest on November 19, 1868, at the meeting of the town council." MA BC: 1181/1868. 27 Namely at the following: 3 Kerepesi út (1860-1885); 11 Kerepesi út (18801885); 69 Kerepesi út (1877); 9 Kerepesi út (1882-1884); 28 Kerepesi út (18901899); 3 Kerepesi út (1860-1885); 11 Kerepesi út (1880-1885); 69 Kerepesi út (1877); 9 Kerepesi út (1882-1884); 28 Kerepesi út 28 (1890-1899). 28 MA BC: 917/1868. See Hidvégi, op. cit. (see Note 25) 276. 29 Commissioned by M. Ziegelwagner and built by contractor Imre Rill. MA BC: 2565/1872. 30 Lyka, op. cit. (see Note 24) p. 15-16. None of the plans of the studios Miklós Izsó built are extant; all we know of is a request to have a door opened in Rózsa utca (MA BC: IV. 1407/B 66083). His widow submitted a request a permit to build a two-storey house at 20 Rózsa utca (MA BC: FL IV. 1407/B III.

1915/1885). In her request, she mentions that, on the lot, "there is now a single-storey house with a sculptural studio built in particular for casting the statue of Petőfi." Due to problems of ownership, the building permit referred to Engineering Office decision 1137 of 1875 allowing the division of the lot into three parts. 3 1 On the basis of the data of Hidvégi, op. cit. (see Note 25) p. 307. (447/1869), the data of Lyka can be made more precise, for the house was built not in Vilma királyné útja (today: Városligeti fasor), but in Damjanich utca, and the villa-like studio was a summer house according to the request submitted. 32 MABC: 447/1869. 33 Soós, op. cit. (see Note 2) p. 175. talks about Sopron citizens, priests, actresses, but we do not know of their portraits. 34 "Budapesti hírvivő." In: Családi Kör, 1867, no. 42, p. 1003. 35 Gyula Soós (op. cit., see Note 2) does not mention that Gyula Andrássy's portrait has a double. Kugler displayed his statue of Andràssy at a Vienna exhibition in 1868, as the Műcsarnok reported (November 17, 1868,p. 152). Onlythe plaster cast of the bust was ready, but the exhibit could also have been a relief portrait. 36 Fővárosi Lapok, May 25, 1871, p. 565. 37 "For a tomb, he produces a full-length, life-size relief of Christ, of the Saviour sharing pain, which he will carve in marble." In: "Hazai művészet." Műcsarnok, 1868, no. 5, p. 40. 38 By 1883, it stood in the corridor of the abbey. Pasteiner Gyula. "A magyar szobrászat."

In: Művészettörténeti Értesítő 3.\ (1954) p. 99. 42 The statue cannot be identified. Only a later tomb of the Wenzel family has survived, which was made in the Gerenday workshop in 1891. See Tóth, op. cit. (see Note 39) p. 185; tomb no. B 182. 43 His plan was that the effigy would go the National Museum. The photo shows the plaster cast, the marble version was probably not executed. See Műcsarnok, 1869, nos. 21-22. p. 183. 44 "Ferenc Kugler's Flora is better [than the two busts by Miklós Vay], but is not excellent, and the bust by László Dunaiszky which is meant to depict Miklós Barabás is below critical level." -r.
