Taken from a rare copper engraving published circa 1755, this exquisitely detailed table illustrates the decorative elements of various classical columns. The Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite orders are shown with their related capitals and entablatures. Though not a map, guides of this sort were published to inform and educate tourists undertaking the Grand Tour, as Soane himself did from 1778 onwards. Handmade in Buckinghamshire in the family-run workshop of craftsman and map expert Phillip Burrough, these maps are printed with pigment ink on archival paper and are hand-laid onto cloth using glue made to a traditional recipe. This reproduction is taken from the original antique engraving and is laid on high-quality cloth and beautifully presented in an antique marbled slip case. Please note that it is not possible to select which marbled slip case your map will arrive in. Measurement: 70 x 62 cm
