Notes
The cornice is of a standard type with dentils and egg-and-dart beneath the corona. It is identified by the caption as being located ‘next’ to the church of ‘St Paul’, presumably St Paul’s outside the Walls. The same cornice was drawn by Antonio Labacco who specified the same general location but represented it orthogonally and with measurements that are slightly different.
