Notes

Drawing 107 shows a chimney-piece design similar to that shown in a perspective of the drawing room, drawing 93, having fluted jambs and a frieze ornamented with a delicate Vitruvian scroll motif. The drawing appears to be a reused design, as it has been slightly modified and the date changed. The drawing may have originally been made for a town house on Surrey Street, Norwich, for John Patteson in 1790. See drawing 7 under the scheme.
