Purpose
Soane's next visit abroad, 1819
Notes
Between 1799 and 1815, the Napoleonic Wars closed the Continent except for a brief period after the 1802 Treaty of Amiens. Thus war as well as a busy practice kept Soane at home for 39 years before he made his next (and last) trip abroad. This visit to Paris is recorded in an as yet uncatalogued note/sketchbook dated August and September 1819.
