An original 1849 architectural study by HB Garling, featuring finely rendered ink and pencil designs for ornate trusses and decorative scrollwork. The sheet includes multiple detailed views—front elevations, profiles, and floral embellishments—alongside handwritten measurements and annotations. Likely created as part of a formal design project, this work showcases the precision and artistry of 19th-century architectural drafting. The reverse contains lightly sketched ornamental motifs, adding further insight into the artist’s process. Unframed, mockup for example.
Measurements: 10.75" L × 7.25" W
Materials: Ink and pencil on paper.
Condition Note: Light toning, a few small stains, and minor wear to edges. Pencil work on reverse remains faint but visible. Paper is stable and drawings are crisp.
