Notes
This drawing shows the erection of the stone lantern above the Mausoleum. It is not recorded in Nevola's catalogue and is presumably the rough sketch done on site. It is a loose drawing kept in the front pocket of the record book. This was then copied in SM volume 81/3, which was actually pasted into the record book.
