Doric Order: Cornices of Greek Buildings decorate this black and ivory silkThis drawing shows a number of sections through Doric cornices of peristyles from various examples of classical architecture. Belonging to Sir John Soane's collection of Royal Academy Lecture Drawings, an image such as this would have certainly been a useful resource for young architects in training. This print is colour matched to the original and approved by Sir John Soane's Museum. Every purchase supports the work of the Museum.
