The windows start to be finalised with a smaller bottom window and a larger round-topped window for the gallery. Soane was still experimenting slightly, but the overall arrangement, with each bay articulated by an Ionic pilaster was the final scheme adopted (see SM 54/4/20-22). One design shows the first and last bay as a single round-topped window (SM 54/2/13), whilst another makes all of the flank window transomed (SM 54/2/12). Most notable is SM 54/2/11 which preserved the square bottomed, round topped window for the end bays, which eventually supercedes the single large round windows of SM 54/2/12.
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).
