[5] Elevations/sections of south and north walls and plan, April/May 1787
Browse
Reference number
SM volume 57/32
Purpose
[5] Elevations/sections of south and north walls and plan, April/May 1787
Aspect
Elevations/sections of south and north walls and plan. Though both elevations have the same arrangement of paired Ionic pillasters as in drawing 2, alternative designs are suggested so that the topmost (south) elevation is less congested than in the previous schemes while the lower (north) has drapery and swags. The plan shows the two skylights to be elliptical.
