NOTES: This is one of a series of elevations of carved chimneypieces whose design is attributed to Robert Morris because of their similarity to those in his 'Architectural remembrancer' (London, 1751) followed by a second edition called 'Architecture improved' (1755 and 1757). They are described on the 1751 title page as being 'after the manner of Inigo Jones, and Mr. Kent'.
