Catalogue entry

Inverted relative to the sketchbook’s foliation, Southwark Cathedral and the south bank of the River Thames are shown; the view continues across the full width of folio 7 recto opposite (D17846), under which the subject is discussed.
More than half the drawings in this sketchbook show the Thames around Old London Bridge, and are likely to date from 1824; see the Introduction.
