Turner filled much of this page with wide riverside landscapes punctuated by architectural features. The top two scenes are inverted in relation to the sketchbook as foliated. His note towards the top left-hand corner of the page shows that at least some of these views were taken in the region of Châtillon-sur-Marne.
