Sir M. Digby Wyatt

An Architect's Note-Book in Spain principally illustrating the domestic architecture of that country

In Spain, an Architect's Notebook mostly depicts the country's home architecture. Before departing England for his first journey to Spain in the fall of 1869, Matthew Digby Wyat wanted to view and depict as many of the country's architectural ruins as he could in the time and resources available to him. He also decided to draw to recognize the publishing of my sketches and a portion of his notes on the things shown, in the exact form in which they may be constructed. The idea that Spain's great heritage was being trampled on nearly daily inspired his determination. Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt is a British architect and art historian who served as the Grand Exhibition's secretary, the East India Company's surveyor, and the university of Cambridge's first Slade Fine Arts professor.

    "Der Frantzose wie ein Adler,
    Der Deutsche wie ein Bär,
    Der Italianer wie ein Fuchs,
    Der Spanier wie ein Elephant,
    Der Engelländer wie ein Löw."
