| Note: Inscription: "Explanation of the Vignette in the Titlepage. During my residence in Virginia from 1795 to 1799, the applications to me for designs were very numerous, and my fancy was kept employed in building castles in the air, the plans of which are contained in this Volume. The only two buildings which were executed from the drawings were CAPTN Pennocks house at Norfolk, and Colonel Harvies at Richmond. (p. 1 & _____). The former stands on terra firma in the background to the left, the latter on the hill in the middle ground. The Wings of Col. Harvie's were never built, & are thus following the other buildings into the sky. Higher up among the clouds, are the buildings which may easily be known by looking over the following drawings. To the right hovers the figure of the Architects imagination, such as she is. With the Model of the Bank of Pennsylvania in her hand, she is leaving the Rocks of Richmond & taking her flight to Philadelphia. The idea of the Figure is imitated from a figure by Flaxman, the celebrated Sculptor." | |||||||||||||
