Reference number
Adam vol.55/33
Purpose
drawing missing
Medium and dimensions
The sheet must have measured approximately 210 x 270
Notes
See inscription on fourth leaf of album in pen and pencil in three Soane Museum hands: Miscellaneous Sketches/ Numbered from 1 to 182/ wanting Nos. 25, 27, 33, 44, 55/66, 68, 70, 108-9:/ wanting Nos. 21, 25, 27, 33, 44, 55/66, 68, 69, 70, 108.-12/ wanting/1904 Nos. 21, 25, 27, 33, 40, 44, 55/66, 68, 69, 70, 108-11.It seems highly likely that this missing drawing is now in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (see A. Rowan, Catalogues of Architectural Drawings in the Victoria and Albert Museum London, Robert Adam, London, 1988, pl.6, p.34), as that sheet is numbered 33 in the same hand as the numerals on the drawings in volume 55. The composition also has the character of those in this volume, particularly Adam vol.55/6, and the dimensions would appear to fit the marks left on the album leaf.
