Notes
The perspective (recto) is a variant of the arrangement of four Ionic colums shown on drawing [24] so that here the columns are ranged in a row and two pilasters have been added to help carry the weight of the roof to the porch. The verso has two half-elevations with amendments probably made by Soane. The theme relates to pilasters of a type termed 'lesene' that is, without base or capital.
