Notes

The 'as executed' design varies from [SM D1/2/2] and [SM D1/2/4] by having acanthus ornament over the base of the tassae. Additionally, the tassae support a double oil lamp with a central reservoir. In fact, there are variations between the 'executed design' and a photograph published in Stroud (fig.65b) and in National Monuments Record photographs (1951). For instance, the cap consists of a small segmental pediment on each face while the moulding beneath consists of guttae instead of the plain moulding shown in the drawings. The photographs do not show the oil lamp.

See [SM D1/4/45], [SM D1/4/42], [SM D1/4/44] and [SM D1/4/43] for full size details of the termini.

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.

Browse (via the vertical menu to the left) and search results for Drawings include a mixture of Concise catalogue records – drawn from an outline list of the collection – and fuller records where drawings have been catalogued in more detail (an ongoing process).
