Description:
- Abrasion marks at the t. indicate that the finial on the tallest turret of the great tower was erased. - One of a group of working drawings for William Burn's October 1849 project for Fonthill House, Wiltshire, a country house designed in the Jacobethan style. This group represents only one of the projects that Burn proposed for Fonthill House; the final project, executed in 1856, was much smaller (Walker, 31, illustrated in Hitchcock, vol. 2, fig. VIII 31). Drawings include plans, elevations, and sections, as well as full-scale drawings of masonry details. Approximately half of the drawings are part of a numbered series from one to twenty-two, while the other drawings, mostly masonry details, were not numbered. These latter drawings are not as carefully finished, and a few are incomplete.

DR1988:0427:001-013
Description:
- This album is composed of thirteen architectural prints once in the possession of the stonemason Hans Görg Koch, and possibly assembled by him. The first two prints, DR1988:0427:001 and DR1988:0427:002, are the title page and a print showing examples of the Tuscan order from Rutger Kasemann's 'ARCHITETURA LEHR SEIVLEN BOCHG' of 1615 (Hollstein vol. 16, nos. 1 - 24). The prints DR1988:0427:003 - DR1988:0427:005 and DR1988:0427:007 are elevations and plans of early Baroque church façades in Rome, and the prints DR1988:0427:006 and DR1988:0427:008 - DR1988:0427:013, are orthographic designs for doorframes. The album pages bear three separate watermarks, none of which have been found in the literature: one on the flyleaves, another on the two Kasemann prints, and a third on the eleven prints showing churches and doorframes.
