Catalogue entry

Made with the page turned horizontally, and perhaps part of the same sequence of sketches as that on folio 1 recto (D03994), this seems to relate to Turner’s ideas for a view of Flint Castle; see folios 14 recto, 16 recto (D04008, D04010), and 114 recto (D04132; Turner Bequest LXIX 115).
Verso:
Blank; slight offset from folio 109 recto (Tate D04126; Turner Bequest LXIX 110), indicating that the pages were once bound consecutively.
