Notes
The 'Mr Patteson' pencilled-in on drawing 50 probably refers to John Patteson, a fellow Grand Tourist and resident of Norwich for whom Soane designed additions, including chimney-pieces, to his house in Surrey Street (see D.Stroud, Sir John Soane architect, 2nd ed., 1996, p.146)
Soane's ornament for the chimney-piece has cabled fluting and a tablet with urn and ivy festoons. Another working drawing for a chimney-piece also drawn by Soane in the same rather free manner is drawing 56.
See also drawing 57 for a related drawing made for the fabricator of composition mouldings.
