Over het werk
This design by Pugin is one of 16 sheets of designs in the V&A's collections for the ceiling panels in the House of Lords Library Corridor. The scheme was to feature the emblems of English Kings from the Saxons onwards. It shows a crown with three equal points, a foliage pattern over it and allows for a central circular motif. This design has been pricked for transfer and is used in alternate panels in that section of the Library Corridor that remained painted in 1980.

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) is widely considered as one of the most significant and influential architects, designers and theorists of the 19th century. Following his conversion to Catholicism in 1835, he identified the Gothic style with Christian architecture and his work and writings inspired and framed the Gothic Revival. In 'Contrasts', published in 1836, he condemned classical forms and ardently praised 14th and 15th-century architecture. Pugin is best remembered for his work on the Palace of Westminster.
