Hand

The office Day Book has an entry under 7 June 1808 - 'Lord Breadalbane / Copying internal Sketch / for fitting out of the Dining / Room / Edwards' which suggests Francis Edwards (1784-1857, improver July 1806-October 1810) as the draughtsman for this drawing - and probably the other perspective drawings in this volume for Taymouth Castle.

Notes

The cove to the ceiling is now shown and the hanging light has been removed. The colour scheme that was (drawings [10] and [11]) pink walls with blue draped curtains is now blue walls with draped pink curtains. Ten chairs are shown but (understandably perhaps) no dining table.
