409 - AS II.78. Design for a pomegranate festoon, probably drawn to full scale. The full festoon would be 2 ft 10½ in. wide. Pencil and grey wash. 419 x 585 mm. Watermark: Strasbourg bend. Endorsed in pencil by an early hand: Rough Designe of Architecture.
Note to 408-409: These drawings are from different hands and not necessarily related. The architectural vocabulary of 408 implies an early date, while 409 should be compared with the bas-relief panels on the exterior of St Pauls's Cathedral (WS 15, pls. 30–35). They are the only drawings of their kind in the collection.
