Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 71 Recto:
Blank
D08052
Turner Bequest CXIV 71
Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘71’ bottom right and ‘999’ top right, upside down
Stamped in black ‘CXIV – 71’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This page is not mentioned in Finberg’s Turner Bequest Inventory, presumably by a typographical error, as rectos are usually listed,1 whether blank or not; the sequence jumps from ‘70’ (folio 70 recto; D08051) to ‘71a’, the verso of the present leaf (D08053).
