Ink & wash floor plans on verso are probably not related to the drawing on the front of the sheet. The purpose of this rendering is unknown, nor is it known if the interior shown is of a house designed by Linfoot. This drawing has been found reproduced in two monographs authored by Linfoot, but without any further identification of the drawing: [1] Summer quarters : sea shore cottages / by Benjamin Linfoot, architect. 1882. no. 1. [2] Architectural picture making with pen & ink / by Benjamin Linfoot, architect. 1884. In both cases, a companion piece, showing a woman with a fan, standing by a fireplace, with two small dogs, is also shown. This companion item is not part of the Athenaeum's Linfoot collection.
