Catalogue entry

Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, this very cursory sketch may show the Cyfarthfa iron works, of which Turner made detailed drawings in his contemporary Cyfarthfa sketchbook (Tate D01629–D01632; Turner Bequest XLI 1–4). The present drawing is continued on folio 74 recto opposite (D01584; Turner Bequest XL 74).
