Catalogue entry

The view is south-west to Warfleet and Dartmouth Castle from the eastern bank of the Dart at Kingswear. Eric Shanes has tentatively linked this sketch and the looser one on folio 53 verso opposite (D09735) with the watercolour Dartmouth Cove of about 1826 (Morgan Library & Museum, New York),1 engraved in 1827 for the series Picturesque Views in England and Wales;2 see the top right sketch on folio 57 verso (D09741) for the overall composition.
This is one of a sequence of views around Dartmouth and the Dart Estuary between folios 50 recto and 60 recto (D09730, D09744); for sketches made in 1811, see under the first of these.
