Critical commentary
Evidently an aide-memoire, taken hastily on the spot and eventually worked up into P79. Wilson's main concern is with accurately capturing the orthogonals, shapes and space. A similar drawing on the reverse of the present sheet is D350/2 <i>View of Wilton House and Gardens looking East</i>.
