Robert Adam
Robert Adam ranks among the foremost architects and designers of the British neoclassical movement, celebrated for interiors and furniture as much as for the buildings that housed them. His ornamental vocabulary drew on classical antiquity and was disseminated through richly illustrated publications, among them etching and engraving plates issued in the Works in Architecture volumes. This archive holds two works associated with him: one of those etched and engraved sheets and a tapestry room ensemble combining plaster, pine, mahogany, bronze-gilt, marble and lapis lazuli with wool and silk. The printed material spans 1763 to 1822, so the range includes later impressions up to that year rather than only lifetime printings.
