SARAGOSA. WOOD COR[NICE] TO HOUSE

Saragosa seems to have been a disappointment to Bayne, as it was to Street before him. Both make disparaging remarks about the city and complain of little good work to see. Street states, "I returned from Huesca to the railway and then to Zaragoza, hoping that, notwithstanding all it had suffered from wars and sieges, something might still be found to reward examination. I have seen no city in Spain which is more imposing in the distance, and yet less interesting on near acquaintance....But whether the French in their sieges destroyed everything, or whether it is that the city is too prosperous to allow old things to stand in the way, it is certainly the fact that but few old buildings do stand, and that none of them are of first-rate interest."* The collection's three drawings in the small format indicate that Bayne found a greater interest in the details of domestic architecture here rather than in religious and civic structures of the city. The carved cornices with their tile roofs can be compared to the cornices of the buildings in Seville and Toledo shown in the photographs.

This is a sketch of another cornice to a house in Saragosa. In the lower centre, Bayne notes, "painting accurate [?] on this frieze." In the upper right he includes details of the front and side views which are marked with labels and letters. In the side view, Bayne has added another inscription, "This rafter is on piece a." The number and monogram are in the upper and lower left corners, and the place and date in the lower right.

SARAGOSA. CORNICE TO HOUSE. NEAR TO TOWER

This partially completed sketch shows a more elaborate cornice than that in U994.30.58. In addition to his monogram and number in the lower and upper left corners, Bayne has added the place and date in the lower right corner: "Saragosa. Cor[nice] to House. near to Tower. Jan. 11.65." The upper right corner includes a detail of the section of the cornice.

SARAGOSA. WOOD CORNICE TO HOUSE. CALLE DE. S. JORGE

This sketch has been divided into two parts. The main portion shows the underside of a roof with a carved wood cornice. The tiles of the roof have been sketched in only on the right and part of the left side near the corner. The right side of the drawing shows "plan of soffit" and "Side Elevation of Console." Bayne has included his monogram at the lower left beneath the last curved console and numbered the drawing in the upper left. The location and date are in the upper right where Bayne also notes the address of the house: "Saragosa. Wood Cor[nice] to House. J.11.1825. Calle [?] de S. Jorge [?] No. 10."
