Notes
This and other drawings by James Adam in Adam vol.26/120 are typical of his drawings of the 1750s. Their inclusion in this volume strenghthens its association with James Adam. These drawings may be compared with those attributed to Robert Adam (see J. Fleming, Robert Adam and His Circle in Edinburgh & Rome, London, 1962, pls.26-32) from the Blair Adam collection, Scotland and are listed in the NRA report, principally between BA 188 and 247. Several are dated between 1751 and 1753.
