Hand

Soane Office, draughtsman
Several office hands were at work on drawings for Moggerhanger, so that, for example, on 14 January 1807, the Day Book records five names: Seward, Malton, Storace, Adams, Bailey, that is: Henry Hake Seward, 1778-1848, pupil, assistant 1794-1808; Charles Malton, 1788-?, pupil 1802-9; Brinsley John Storace, pupil 1804-7; Adams, jun., James, 1785-1850, pupil 1806-09. For the drawings catalogued here, the draughtsmanship varies but the inscribing hand for the titles is George Bailey's (1792-1860, pupil and assistant 1806-37, curator 1837-60)
