The Construction Index: V&A acquires archive of Pugin drawings
The Construction Index: V&A acquires archive of Pugin drawings. “More than 700 drawings by 19th century architect Augustus Pugin have been acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London…. The 700 drawings – which range in date from the late 1830s until 1851 – are working design drawings in Pugin’s hand. Many are signed and dated by Pugin himself. They range from initial sketches in pencil to finished presentation designs rendered in watercolour.”
