Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Longitudinal section of four tiers of an auditorium, possibly of Wyatt's Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Watermarked 1818. Winston Collection.
Although Mr. Samuel Beazley Jr. was the architect for the proposed alterations for the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in the 1820's, we learn from this collection that Mr Winston played an active role in the proposal alterations. It is unclear in certain items if he actually drew them himself or copied from original ones and added some notes.
