Purpose

Preliminary design, design and finished drawing for the funerary monument of Admiral Boscawen, 1761, unexecuted (3)

Notes

The circular concave fluted recess for the bust can be seen in another, earlier scheme for the monument (Adam volume 54/2/17).

Adam volumes 19/3-4 make use of coronets in the form of a corona muralis and a corona civica on each, being Roman symbols of military decoration.
