Joseph Mallord William Turner

With the page turned horizontally, this view of roofs and trees includes little to assist directly in its identification, but the drawings between folios 218 verso and 227 verso (D09362–D09380; Turner Bequest CXXXI 129a–138a) are all identified or likely views around Highgate and the new Archway to its east, then in the countryside north of London; they were probably made working in from the back of the book as now foliated. There is a similar view on folio 224 recto (D09373; Turner Bequest CXXXI 135). The subject is discussed under folio 128 verso (D09360; Turner Bequest CXXXI 128a), apparently incorrectly isolated from the rest of the sequence by a block of blank leaves.
