Notes

This is a presentation drawing of the monument, showing the chosen design. It could be the drawing presented to the client on 21 September 1788, though it is not on the 'card' as recorded in Soane's No 1. The drawing has fold marks indicating that it was transported to the client, and it has Soane's inscriptions that he probably made upon presenting the drawing. The inscriptions list the materials, specifying Black marble, Dove marble and Statuary (or white) marble.
