| Object history | Design for the stable block of 1814, the infirmary begun in 1810 and the house of the Clerk of Works enlarged in 1814. The infirmary was destroyed in 1941. This drawing was pasted into a copy of Sir John Soane's book Designs for Public and Private Buildings owned by Soane's assistant Charles James Richardson. Richardson built up a large collection of originals and copies (many of which he executed himself) of his master's designs, and distributed the bulk of them into two folio volumes, interspersed with the printed pages of the book. These volumes were bought by the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) in 1863. |
