Architectural Drawings is a captivating visual compilation that unveils the remarkable architectural drawings of the renowned neo-classical architect, teacher, and collector, Sir John Soane. These drawings, often hidden in archives, are brought to life in this book, showcasing a selection of artworks handpicked from what was undoubtedly the world's first comprehensive collection of architectural drawings, numbering 30,000 at the time of Soane's passing in 1837. Celebrating a life dedicated to collecting curiosities, this collection encompasses the talents of various architects, including Montano, Thorpe, Wren, Talman, Hawksmoor, Vanbrugh, Gibbs, Kent, Chambers, Adam, Clérisseau, Pêcheux, Wyatt, Playfair, Nash, and, of course, Soane himself. The exceptional quality of Soane's collection is unparalleled, and due to their fragile nature, these drawings are rarely seen by the public. This innovative book brings together the most exquisite and significant works from the collection for the first time, showcasing Sir John Soane's extraordinary connoisseurship and delving into the motivations behind his remarkable accumulation.
Furthermore, Architectural Drawings offers a unique perspective on Soane's story as a collector of architectural drawings, providing a glimpse into a narrative that is typically unavailable to the public. It presents a sumptuous opportunity to explore some of the finest architectural drawings in existence, offering a glimpse into the architectural heritage of the past. This book is a testament to Sir John Soane's enduring legacy and his profound contribution to the world of architecture.
