[31] In an article by Mr. W. Grant Keith, published in the _Burlington
Magazine_ of January 1913, are given some reproductions of half a dozen
drawings by Inigo Jones, which are among the most carefully finished
specimens of his handiwork that survive. They include a ceiling for
Wilton, 1649, and some decorative work at Oatlands Palace in Surrey.
[32] Mostly preserved at Chatsworth; there are also a few at the
British Museum.
[33] It has not been found possible to illustrate this scene, as was
intended, owing to the war having rendered the drawings at Chatsworth
inaccessible for the time being.
