MOD5490 - Pencil on paper, 37cm x 53cm.

Among the collection of architectural drawings are designs for churches and barracks, as well as Robert Adam's Admiralty screen and other Whitehall-based drawings.

Augustus Charles Pugin, a refugee from the French Revolution, was a gifted draughtsman who produced two illustrated works on Gothic architecture, which greatly influenced his son (Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin) - the driving force behind the design and ornamentation of the Palace of Westminster.  The elder Pugin displays, in this sketch, an architect's view of the street.

This drawing is currently on loan to the office of the Adjutant General.
