Sir William Chambers's 1763 architectural drawing, "The Great Exotic Stove at Kew," is a detailed plan of a greenhouse designed for cultivating exotic plants. The design includes multiple sections depicting the structure's various components, including the "back wall," the "front elevation," and "the Dark Stove." These intricate drawings display Chambers's expertise in architectural design and his interest in showcasing the technical complexities of a structure designed to house delicate and rare botanical specimens. This drawing was likely intended as a blueprint for construction or as a visual guide for showcasing Chambers's innovative design to a discerning audience.
