Notes

This drawing is possibly a variation of the chalk plans by Robert Adam in Adam vol.9/9 and 20, and may have been intended to be symmetrical but has been badly trimmed. There is a similar drawing of the same scale in Adam vol.55/170 verso, which is symmetrical. The source for this plan may be the small chalk drawing attributed to Laurent-Benoít Dewez in Adam vol.9/49.
