  • image SM volume 79/5

Reference number

SM volume 79/5

Purpose

[168] Later record drawing

Aspect

View of the south and east fronts of the Clerk of Works' House and the south front of the Infirmary

Hand

C.J. Richardson (1809-1871, pupil and assistant 1824-1837) (see notes)

Notes

This drawing was made after the completion of the Clerk of Works' House. It is most likely (given the similarity of draughtsmanship and the maturity of the surrounding garden represented) to be by C.J. Richardson in the 1830s (indeed SM volume 79/1 and SM volume 79/3 are inscribed as such).

Literature

S. Palmer, 'Sir John Soane's Garden at the Royal Hospital Chelsea', The London Gardener, 2003-2004, volume 9, p.20
