Cut out on same scale as S.24:1-1984 which merges main tiers with 1814 proscenium boxes crating new proscenium boxes over proscenium door at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, ca. 1820. 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.
