Purpose

Record drawings for friezes for the hall, passages, staircase, library, drawing room, tapestry room, Etruscan dressing room, and state bedchamber, ND, as executed (3)

Notes

It is not possible to assign a date range to these drawings as they are included in a volume of record drawings: drawn directly on to the page rather than pasted in. As such this collection of record drawings appears to have been produced as a complete work and may have been compiled some time after the work at Osterley.

The friezes for the staircase, library, drawing room, tapestry room, Etruscan dressing room and state bedchamber were all executed in accordance with Adam's designs and survive in situ. The frieze for the hall was also executed and survives in situ, but with smaller rosettes than are shown in Adam volume 53/22.
