1740 Excavation of a Hypocaust at Lincoln George Vertue (1684-1756) Pen, ink and watercolour on paper, Society of Antiquaries of London One of the earliest measured drawings of an archaeological excavation in Britain was occasioned by a chance find in Lincoln. Interest in Roman remains in Britain was developing in the eighteenth century, when they were seen as a tangible link between the growing British Empire and that of the Romans. Drawings of Roman mosaics, ruins and finds were well known, but, unusually for the time, these Lincoln drawings show the remains as they were discovered, in context, carefully measured and in considerable detail.
