Description: | A hand drawn plan or sketch by Nicholas Hawksmoor of King's College at Cambridge. Hawksmoor was recommended by Christopher Wren to design the improvements to King's College. The college had a magnificent chapel but only a small courtyard and needed further buildings. Hawksmoor planned not only to extend the college but to create a Baroque style piazza in the centre of Cambridge. He was not a map maker and it seems likely this drawing was made in connection with his 'improvements'. The date is about 1720-30. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Hawksmoor, Nicholas | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
