Notes

John Charles Felix Rossi (1762-1839) modelled the College arms in terracotta and was paid £315.0.0 (RCS Archive, Building Committee Minute Book, 9 September 1812). He made four tripods in 1815.

There is a rough faint pencil perspective of a roof parapet with heraldic shield and two supporters that relate to this drawing on the verso of an unidentified design for a six-part villa in a Classical style ([SM D2/8/38]).
