Door and Window Fittings: Bolts, Latches and Hinges
Labeled studies of a closed and open door, a double window, a pavilion corner and small joining bolts
A page of joinery and hardware studies for doors and windows. Labels beside each sketch identify a door closed and a door open, a double window, the corner of a pavilion, small bolts (catenaccioli) for disjoining and joining, and a board for the bottom of the study, with the wry note that one design 'is not praiseworthy'. At upper right a small pedimented window or temple-front elevation is drawn among the fittings. The mirror-writing captions are faint and only partly legible.

Bolts and latches for joining and disjoining
Among the fittings are small bolts (catenaccioli) meant for disjoining and joining, drawn with their hinged plates and shoots. One arrangement is dismissed by the note as 'not praiseworthy'.
Closed and open door, double window, pavilion corner
Captions label a door shut and a door open, a double window, and the corner of a pavilion, together with a board for the bottom of the study. A small pedimented window elevation is drawn at upper right.
