Display caption
This sketchbook, which Turner seems to have used around 1822 in conjunction with a journey along the southern coast of England, contains twenty-two watercolour studies similar to this opening. This subject is a preparatory stage in the design of a watercolour of Dover engraved in May 1826 as the penultimate plate for the 'Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England'.
