Catalogue entry

With the page turned horizontally, Mount Edgcumbe is on the right, with the coast receding on the left round Cawsand Bay to Penlee Point on the south-western side of Plymouth Sound. The viewpoint is Jennycliff Bay, and the profile of the northern part of Mount Edgcumbe continues on folio 61 verso opposite (D09284). The subjects as far as folio 127 recto (D09358) are all identified or presumed sites within a few miles in and around Plymouth, suggesting a series of fairly short excursions.
Verso:
Blank. A large brown stain matches one on folio 63 opposite (D09286).
