Catalogue entry

As set out in the Introduction, this sketchbook contains identified views of Cumbria and Sussex. Like the wooded scenes shown in D09004, D09007 and D09008 (CXXVII 27, 30, 30a), this sketch lacks prominent landmarks and cannot presently be associated with certainty with either county.
Technical notes:
This is one of a few single leaves which, with a greater number of loose bifolio sheets, constitute the so-called Sandycombe and Yorkshire sketchbook. The folded sheets were not bound, but placed inside each other in a sequence which is not entirely recoverable (see the sketchbook’s Introduction for a suggested order).
