Notes

Record drawing 120 copies two interior perspectives that (it is assumed) were made in the period from June 1794 to February 1795 when Soane and his office were producing a great many designs for the House of Lords committee. Six interior perspectives (drawings 102 to 107) have survived, none of them of the quality of those made a few years later by J. M. Gandy. The same views seen in drawing 120 were later copied by another pupil (see drawings 130, 131). Record drawings 121, 122 and 123 reproduce drawings made by J. M. Gandy, c.1800, for which see Domed designs 47, 53 and 57.
