Drawing

These designs by Pugin are among 16 sheets of designs in the V&A's collections for the ceiling of the House of Lords Library Corridor which was to feature the emblems of English Kings from the Saxons onwards. It features two circles enclosing the initials R and C. These circles are smaller than those given for the emblems in the other preliminary designs for the ceiling, but it is assumed that they are for the initials of the Kings which were intended in this scheme. It is not known how much of this scheme was originally carried out and in 1980 only one section of the Lords Library Corridor had painted ceiling panels.
