Robert
Adam. Design of a Sedan Chair as executed for her Majesty.
Copper engraving by P.Begbie after a design by Robert Adam, published,
in London in1775. 445 x 590mm.
Robert Adam, the formost architect of the period, designed this sedan chair
for Queen Charlotte, with classical decoration including Græcian
sphinxes. He chose to include the design in his Works in Architecture, a
collection of elevations and views of his most famouse works, including
Syon House in Middlesex.
This must surely be the largest engraving of a sedan chair.
