Fanciful Figures turns visitors’ attention to ‘staffage’, the small human and animal figures in architectural drawings, which became increasingly popular during the eighteenth century. Drawing on the drafting practices of past and present, the exhibition - the first ever on the subject - illustrates staffage’s ability to animate architects’ visions, both for built projects and unrealised designs.
Here, the exhibition's creator Frances Sands, the Soane's Curator of Drawings and Books, to introduce you to the subject and explore some of the highlights of the exhibition.
