General note

Among Nobbs’s architectural drawing folders is a collection of lettering which he used for leaded letters for inscription on tablets or incised lettering in building stonework. These drawings in pencil, ink, watercolor, black line or blueprint include examples of letters of the alphabet or numbers, and in several cases we find inscriptions which relate to specific projects and clients such as Christ Church Cathedral, Church of St. Andrews and St. Paul, The Cutlers Company of Sheffield, Francis John Shepherd, Major Ferdinand George Macculloch and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
