Notes

Rough sketches and calculations on the reverse of the drawing. 

Sir Edwin Lutyens was a highly-regarded architect, most well-known for his iconic country houses, public buildings and war memorials. He collaborated with Sir Herbert Baker on projects in New Delhi, the national capital territory of India, and designed the original building of the Johannesburg Art Gallery.
