Notes
This design differs a little from SM 51/2/21. For one thing, in the cupola the entablature is now broken and arches spring from each column. This was hinted at by pencil lines on the previous drawing. A new feature also appears in the first and third bays of the gallery - an opening with coved sides hangs from the ceilings beneath the lanterns.
