Aspect

Elevation and perspective view showing the west, north and south fronts of a church. Below is an elevation of the south front of a nine-bay church. The first and ninth bays contain rectangular latticed windows with console hood mouldings and are articulated by a screen of two Doric columns. The second and eighth bays have arched latticed windows within relieving arches and the third to seventh bays replicate this on a larger scale. The building has a Doric frieze and a shallow pitched roof, surmounted by an attic roof with five bays of latticed square windows. This is connected by a stone balustrade to towers at each end with a single latticed window. Above is a perspective showing the west and north fronts of a five-by-nine-bay church. The north front is identical to the elevation above, and the west front shows steps leading to a recessed series of four fluted Doric Columns. The entrance is flanked by single bays containing rectangular latticed windows with console hood mouldings

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.

Browse (via the vertical menu to the left) and search results for Drawings include a mixture of Concise catalogue records – drawn from an outline list of the collection – and fuller records where drawings have been catalogued in more detail (an ongoing process).
