Catalogue entry

On the left is a brief continuation of the drawing on folio 13 verso (D21997), where the spire and dome of Birmingham’s Christ Church (demolished in 1899) and St Philip’s Church (later Birmingham Cathedral) respectively are seen. The rest of this page is taken up with what appears to be a separate Birmingham view, with the same spire and dome between the chimneys towards the right.
For other views of Birmingham, see under folio 3 verso (D21980).
