Notes
See also SM 28/2/5 (plan and wall elevations with details) in which the ceiling design is the same as the one shown here. Attributed to John McDonnell, Soane's second pupil who joined the drawing office on 18 March 1786. His drawing is somewhat uncertain, the dimensions and and instructions to the plasterer written upside down.
