Notes:
Signed in the stone: J. Stevens July 1840.
" An amazing design for a national mausoleum in an ornate Gothic style. The central spire has four arms like a Greek cross, and the whole is enclosed by a cloister with immense archways on each axis. In the mid 19th century, along with the numerous schemes for national cemetaries, many designs were made for national mausoleums, Sidney Smirke and Gilbert Scott both making contributions. The present lithograph presents a further variation. Its architect is almost certainly John Hargrave Stevens (d. 1875), who was District Surveyor of Bethnal Green and from whom drawings of cemetaries, tombs, etc. are known"--Supplier's description.
