Joseph Mallord William Turner Blank 1797

Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 2 Recto:
Blank
D01093
Turner Bequest XXXV a 1
Stamped in black ‘XXXV (a 1)’ bottom right
Inscribed by ?Arthur Magyer Hind in pencil ‘[?XXXV ... | take from ...]’ towards bottom right (largely erased)
This leaf is not mentioned by Finberg.1 The pencil inscription at the bottom of the page has apparently been erased, leaving faint traces. It appears to be in the hand of curator Arthur Magyer Hind, and was probably an instruction to assistants or the binder to insert the page here when the book was restored in 1934; see Hind’s notes on folio 1 recto (D01094; Turner Bequest XXXV aa1).
Verso:
Blank, stamped in brown ink with Turner Bequest monogram
