Notes

The date of 'Jany 29th 1823' appears to have been miswritten - all of the other drawings for Windsor Castle made in Soane's Office are dated '1824'. The Vice Chamberlain's Apartments were in the south range of the Castle. The lower plan is for the ground floor and the upper plan is for the principal floor. This drawing includes a design for a new chimneypiece (in pink wash) on the principal floor. This is the only known design suggestion to have been made by Soane for Windsor Castle.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
