This sketch shows two parts of a door: the top half has a carved panel with swirling designs and a small handle, while the bottom half is a tall, ornate latch with a leafy base. The lines are light and quick, almost like a quick note to a builder. One part is labeled “Draw Box for lock,” and the other “Hinge to 1st door.” The drawing looks like a mix of fancy woodwork and simple notes—maybe for someone making a real door. The artist wrote the date, *28th August 1865*, in the corner, but the sketch feels more like a draft than a finished plan. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
