THOUSANDS of drawings by the
world-renowned Scottish
architect Robert Adam have been uncovered for the first time in almost
two
centuries.About 9,000 of Adam's designs were glued into 57 albums by
his
relatives to make them easier to sell after the family fell on hard
times.
In doing so, drawings on the back were lost for more than 170 years.
Now, using a technique
developed for examining
old watermarks, an academic, Dr Ian Christie-Miller, has been able to
see
through the paper and reveal the hidden image.
