Notes

A close copy to a reduced scale of Soane's Royal Academy Gold Medal Design - Section through the Center Building (see SM 12/5/3).

Robert Smirke (1780-1867) was briefly a pupil in Soane's office from 1796 to 1797. (The Office Day Book from October 24 1796 onwards is missing and thus cannot be checked for an entry by Smirke).
