Notes
This drawing appears to be a preliminary study for a more fully-worked section through this Court: SM 53/1/16. The curatorial inscription (Freemasons) is erroneous. The sheet has been pricked through from another leaf, not present in the volume. This drawing concentrates upon the details of the Court's lantern, ceiling and upper storey of the Court room proper. The orientation of the section is difficult to establish given the absence of details in the lower storey. However, this drawing is clearly associated with a series of sections through the Court of King's Bench (SM 53/3/1 - 11).
