Grand Victorian public buildings, some of them only proposals, stand beside country houses and churches in the architectural drawings of Axel Herman Haig. The Swedish-born etcher and draughtsman lived from 1835 to 1921, and the prints here belong chiefly to the 1860s. Raphael Brandon's proposed Law Courts, Bradford Town Hall and the Bristol Assize Courts show him presenting architects' designs, so the buildings are often the work of others. Country houses range from Eatington Park to Barningham and Barsham in Norfolk, Lincoln Cathedral and the interior of St John's, Torquay, add church architecture, and a later scene shows a German mill.
