Notes

This drawing shows the cross-section counterpart to SM 11/6/8, with foundation arches. On the west (right), one of the old lanterns can be seen in the adjoining room, Taylor's south Transfer Office, indicating that the demolition of that office was not planned when the drawing was made. On the left, the exterior columns orient the section: looking towards the southern wall. The drawing may be an unused lecture drawing (see notes to SM volume 74/143).

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
