Description:
|
This plan shows building works at the entrance of Edinburgh Castle, including the new walls. It is part of a set done by Dugal Campbell in 1742, to show the progress of the improvements at the castle in the 1740's. It appears to have been copied in the Tower of London Drawing Room, first by Jabez Anderson, in 1799, (at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04b), and secondly by John Sedley in 1800, (at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04c). Another plan from this set is at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5b (with a copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5c), and a 1769 copy of a 1740 set of elevations at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5a.
