Catalogue entry

The majority of this page is taken up with a list of accounts which continue onto the opposite folio (Tate D20080; Turner Bequest CCXVI 270). On this leaf the financial statements are dated between 25 September ‘23’ (probably 1823) and 26 July 1824. They probably represent income or expenditure. The accounts are transcribed thus:
