Doric Order: Cornices of Greek Buildings decorate held within the Soane DrawingThis drawing shows a number of sections through Doric cornices of peristyles from various examples of classical architecture. Belonging to Sir John Soane's collection of Royal Academy Lecture Drawings, an image such as this would have certainly been a useful resource for young architects in training.
