Retroactive Designs, 1826-29 (48)
Notes
Cataloguer's Note:-
This varied series of proposals were initially prepared from autumn 1826 - winter 1827, over the period Soane was repeatedly drafting his Brief Statement of Proceedings as a vindication of his original proposals and his professional competence. The drawings are sequenced together into related schemes, demonstrating the obsessive development of ideas often first couched as a result of the Select Committee's involvement from March - May earlier the same year.
