Notes
NOTES ON [SM D1/4/42], [SM D1/4/44] and [SM D1/4/43]
Dance's full-size working drawings are for a pair of termini at the foot of the twin short flights leading to landings under the south windows that returned to the longer flights giving on to the gallery on the north side. They were drawn with precision and elegance, the veined marble of the pedestal, the leafiness of the acanthus enrichment and the clean lines of the tassa consisting of a shallow bowl on a stem (intending to carry a lamp) being well brought out.
