Notes

These working drawings for the principal floor ([SM D1/1/27], [SM D1/1/39] and [SM D1/1/38]) all show the east wing with two rooms (the drawing room and library) and not the three rooms of the earlier scheme. Westwards there is an almost square breakfast room on the south front with, behind it, the Hall of Communication. In this signed and dated drawing, the west wall of the breakfast room has the swept corners shown on [SM D1/1/39] while the alcoves of the Hall of Communication have been realigned and are now set at an angle.

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.
