Amphitheatres

NOTES: This drawing was used as the basis for the engraving in 'Antiquities of Athens', III, ch.viii, pl.I. An inscription on the sheet describes the site as 'The Odeum of Herodes Atticus in Athens', which was an odeum built at the base of the Acropolis by the Greek scholar and philanthropist Herodes Atticus, in memory of his wife, Regilla.

NOTES: Built in 1939, the old school was single-storey of brick construction, typical of school construction in the inter-war period. The new main teaching acomodation was three-storey of CLASP mark IV construction. The recess courtyard was designed to also be used as an open-air theatre.

NOTES: Reproductions of a set of ÔÇÿLecture DiagramsÔÇÖ published with the tenth edition of Banister Fletcher's 'A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method' (1938), revised and corrected for the 11th edition (1943) onwards. They were used for block-making because the original blocks were destroyed at the printers in 1942. The indicated revisions likely principally date from the first post-war edition (13th edition, 1946). Various references suggest this set of Lecture Diagrams came from Sir Banister Flight Fletcher's office and were re-used until the 18th edition (1975).
