Reference number
SM volume 42/85
Purpose
[10] Earlier and later rough designs by Dance
Aspect
Sketch elevation close to SM volume 42/96 by George Dance; unfinished sketch plan with four long concave sides and four short ones which is related to the perspective of an octagonal central building with dome (the corners of the octagon marked by stele) flanked by four pyramids
Medium and dimensions
Pencil on laid secretary paper with one fold mark (261 x 201)
Hand
George Dance (1741-1825)
Watermark
presently stuck down and not visible
Notes
The perspective for what is a later scheme on the same sheet as an elevation of an early design (see SM volume 42/96) is puzzling.
