Purpose
Preliminary design for the frieze for an unknown room for an unknown house, c1769-70; it is not known if this design was executed (1)
Notes
This has previously been attributed as being for a house on Adam Street, but no evidence can be found either to prove or disprove this attribution. As such the drawing is included here, but it is not known for which house it might have been intended. Moreover, it is not known if this design was executed as there is no known photographic record of the frieze anywhere at the Adelphi.
