Catalogue Note
This volume was originally compiled at the behest and expense of James Ogilvy, seventh earl of Findlater and Seafield (1750-1811), an amateur architect who had settled in Dresden. The plates were engraved by J.G. Schwender and Stieglitz was asked to supply the text. Some of the plates depict English buildings, such as the mausoleum at Wentworth Woodhouse and Thomas Sandby's bridge at Staines, and the majority of the plates were for buildings never constructed.
