Peterhead Architect's Dragon Drawing
 |
Pencil Drawing of a Decorative Spandrel
from a Church in Kent
This drawing
comes from a number of pictures that were rescued along with a large number of
other records from an attic in Arbuthnott House in Peterhead in 1996.
The items
consist largely of speculative architectural drawings for buildings and their
details (such as classical columns), suggesting that they formed part of a
portfolio submitted by Cruikshank as his application for the post of Peterhead
Burgh Architect. His talent and ability clearly shines through in all of the
pictures, but particularly in the impressive drawing of the Gothic spandrel
shown here. It is easy to see from this picture that he had a keen eye for
detail, which was probably a quality that contributed to his eventual
employment by the burgh in the 1950s.
