INTRODUCTION
The other and more prosaic service which Piranesi can still render to architects, and especially in these days of neo-Classic detail, is by means of his careful drawings of antique ornaments and vases from his own and his friends' collections. Here he not only provides us with an immense fund of detail, but he draws that detail in a way which gives us at once the very essence of its character. It is a character all may not love, but few can avoid feeling how suitable it is to the age in which we live.

The Tower of London, dealt with in another chapter, offers a wealth of interest when critical research and architectural acumen are brought into play, and in the same way the Royal Palace of Eltham, Northumberland House, Sir Thomas More's House at Chelsea, the Fortune Theatre, Barking Abbey, and other famous buildings are dealt with.
