Catalogue entry

There are two slight profiles of coasts, one above the other. It is likely that together they form a view of a wide bay or estuary, with the lower drawing being a continuation to the right of the upper view. ‘P’ might indicate Plymouth, suggesting a view from the northern shores of Plymouth Sound, with Mount Batten to the east (above) and Mount Edgcumbe to the west (below). For other Plymouth views in this sketchbook and elsewhere, see under folio 3 verso (D08367).
