In the introduction to this work, Frederick Doveton Nichols observes, Jefferson stands alone as the most distinguished native architect of the Early Republic. The drawings collected in the pages that follow this assertion bear out the truth of Nichol's words. From the graceful floor plans of Monticello to the public buildings of Williamsburg and the pavilions of the University of Virginia, the maginative and mathematical mind of Thomas Jefferson takes shape in the architectural sketches for these landmark structures. A detailed checklist is appended to the text and provides a thorough overview of Jefferson's drawings.This is a collection of the architectural drawings of American President, Thomas Jefferson. The sketches demonstrate how the imaginative and mathematical mind of Jefferson took shape.
