Sir John Soanes’s architectural drawings, including his designs for the Bank of England and Dulwich Picture Gallery, have been made available online by the Sir John Soane’s Museum. Included is the design for his family tomb in St Pancras Gardens, which inspired Gilbert Scott’s prototype for the red telephone box.
Tim Knox, Director of Sir John Soane’s Museum, explains:
Sir John Soane was responsible for some of the greatest buildings of his age and this project offers us all a glimpse of the evolution of these masterpieces.
Soane wanted his unique house and its incredible collection to be preserved.” – Soane’s Regency London Revealed

J’adore ces belles gravures du musée. Je suis allée voir le site du musée. Merci pour l’info!
Je ne connais pas l’Angleterre hélas! Je découvre des merveilles à chaque fois sur ton blog.
Merci encore, Vic!
Bises,
