Gateway to the Admiralty, 1760.

Robert Adam

Screen

MOD11110 - pen and wash on paper, 60cm x 119cm.

The MOD Art Collection includes two original architectural Robert Adam drawings - showing front and rear elevations - for the screen separating the Admiralty Building from Whitehall.

The building, built for purpose by Thomas Ripley in 1725, was thought to be too visible to everyday pedestrians in Whitehall.

These two drawings are extremely light-sensitive and are protected with ultraviolet light resistant glazing and currently hang within Admiralty House.
