"A Plan of the Gallery Floor over Offices, and Two Side Walls, Queens Square, Camden, London" is an anonymous architectural drawing from 1795-1805, currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The drawing uses simple lines to depict the layout of a gallery space and its surrounding rooms, likely meant to be a preliminary blueprint for the construction of the space. The use of measurements and clear, concise lines is characteristic of architectural drawings, highlighting the functional aspects of the project. This work offers insights into the architectural design of the late 18th century, providing a glimpse into the planning of a public space during a period of rapid urbanization in London.
