| Description | The artist has signed himself as J. Logan, but has not dated the plan, of a pulpit in St Machar's Cathedral, Aberdeen. This is one of several detailed drawings from inside St Machar's, made by Logan and contained in the Hutton Collection. The plan illustrates the irregular seven-sided design of the pulpit, noting the measurements of each side and the breadth across the pulpit between two of its corners, The pulpit described by this plan was probably Bishop Stewart's pulpit. Built for St Machar's Cathedral, in the 1530s, it shows the transition between gothic and renaissance styles of design. The pulpit was rebuilt and erected in King's College Chapel, Aberdeen University, in 1844, after being discovered in a lumber room in St Machar's. |
