Notes
In the opinion of A. A. Tait, this drawing relates in time and place or subject to those contained in Adam volume 57. This view by Robert Adam can be related to the Roman topographical studies found in Adam vol.57, although the subject here may be a very free rendering of the Plautii mausoleum at Ponte Lucano.
