They include a watercolour sketch, pen-and-ink plans of the ground and first floor and two pencil sketches for a lamp and a bracket. The coach house was for Munstead Corner, a house Lutyens had been commissioned to design in Surrey. The scheme was modelled on the vernacular architecture of the area, with stone walls, exposed timber and tiled roofs. It was one of Lutyens’ earliest commissions and he was careful to impress his client with beautiful little designs such as these. While most such designs were kept in a sketchbook, these drawings are on a loose sheet of personal stationery (the printed address is that of Lutyens’ family home in London). Possibly this reflects the ancillary status of the coach house.","physicalDescription":"Five drawings on one sheet in pen and ink and watercolour, and pencil. The top drawing is a perspective view of a coach house, with green coach doors, red roof and exposed timbers.  Two pen and ink plans of the coach house are shown below.  Below this are two pencil sketches of a lamp and a bracket. The sheet is printed with the architect's address and it has been folded previously.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Lutyens, Edwin Landseer Sir","id":"N4222"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Pen and ink","id":"x30618"},{"text":"Watercolour","id":"x33202"},{"text":"Paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"AAT54196"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pen and ink and watercolour on paper","categories":[{"text":"Architecture","id":"THES48993"},{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AF7480"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF (VA)","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"EDUC","shelf":"10B","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawing","id":"AAT33973"}],[{"text":"design","id":"AAT102051"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1891-1892","earliest":"1891-01-01","latest":"1892-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"25.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions taken from <u>Victoria and Albert Museum Department of Prints, Drawings and Paintings Accession Register for 1991</u>","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"16 Onslow Square,/ London S.W./  ..............189/ re...................","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Printing ink","method":"Printing","position":"Along the right edge","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Along the right edge; Printing; Printing ink"},{"content":"Harness/ K./ Sculy/ Stairs/ External stair/ Coach house/ C/ C","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"Lutyens","id":"A3434"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Pen and ink","method":"Handwriting","position":"Within the ground floor plan","script":"","translation":"C = cupboard?","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Within the ground floor plan; Handwriting; Pen and ink; Lutyens"},{"content":"Bed/ Bed/ Bed/ Bed/ Loft","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"Lutyens","id":"A3434"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"Pen and ink","method":"Handwriting","position":"Within the first floor plan","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Within the first floor plan; Handwriting; Pen and ink; Lutyens"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Drawing by Sir Edwin Lutyens, design for a coach house at Munstead Corner, Surrey, pencil, pen and ink, and watercolour on paper, London, 1891-1892","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Christies Sale Catalogue, Tuesday 11 December 1990, p.66"},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"<u>Victoria and Albert Museum Department of Prints, Drawings and Paintings Accession Register for 1991</u>"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"Houses","id":"AAT5433"},{"text":"houses","id":"AAT5433"},{"text":"stables","id":"AAT5015"},{"text":"lamps","id":"AAT37592"},{"text":"brackets","id":"AAT181496"},{"text":"architecture","id":"AAT54156"}],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"revival","id":"AAT56555"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.2-1991"],"accessionNumberNum":"2","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":1991,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-30","recordCreationDate":"2004-01-16","availableToBook":false}}
