Notes

There are similar compositions depicting aqueducts in Adam vol.57/49 and vol.57/89. This pencil drawing by Jean-Baptiste Lallemand has a similar didactic purpose for Robert Adam as his red chalk drawing in Adam vol.55/97. The elongated triangular form of the figures here is typical of Lallemand's style. There are feint pencil and ink remains of an earlier composition or plan.
