拍品专文

In 1810 Laing was appointed Surveyor to the Customs and almost immediately began work designing a new Customs House at Plymouth. The finished building was favourably received and in 1812, he was commissioned to rebuild the London Customs House which was completed in 1817.
See lot 166 for a note on the London Customs House Project.

We are grateful to Stephen Astley, Helen Dorey and Susan Palmer and the rest of the team at the Sir John Soane's Museum, London for all their assistance with the group of 18th and 19th century architectural drawings and designs.
