Verso
Unfinished drawings in pen and black chalk: plan for an interior; detail of three-bay entrance portico. The plan is similar to that on the recto.
Notes
The two plans are both for a pavilion similar to that shown in Adam vol.9/48, the larger of which is to the same scale; the plan on the verso is a similar composition. It is possible that this scheme and that in 9/48 are the sources for the larger plans in Adam vol.9/46 and 47, which are attributed to Robert Adam.
