Album of plans, sections, and an elevation for the restoration of the Palazzo of Marchese Bagnasco
DR1988:0432:001-010
Description:
- This album of thirteen folios includes a frontispiece, a table listing the dimensions of the rooms by drawing, and ten folios of plans, sections, and an elevation for the restoration of the south side of the Palazzo Marchese Bangnasco. The album may have been prepared by the architect for presentation to the client, since the table on folio two lists all of the drawings in order and appears to be written in the same hand as the rest of the inscriptions.
