About this work

This is a black-and-white floor plan of a castle. You can see labeled rooms like the Great Hall, kitchen, and courtyards. Walls, doors, and even an oven are drawn with simple lines and measurements. The drawing looks like it was made by hand, with some areas shaded lightly. It shows how big each room is, like the Great Hall being 28 by 16 feet. Check out James Lambert senior to see how he made these kinds of drawings.
