The principal view shows Berlin’s Unter den Linden Boulevard, looking towards the River Spree, Altes Museum, Schloss, and Schlossbrücke. The squared-off view at top left (orientated inversely to the principal sketch) shows the Unter den Linden again, this time looking eastwards towards the Zeughaus (Old Arsenal), General Blücher’s statue and the Opera House.
For other sketches of Berlin see Tate D21045–D31082; Turner Bequest CCCVII 13a–32.
