Catalogue entry

With the sketchbook turned to the left and right are two sketches of the ruins of Penrith Castle. With the book turned to the right is a view of the castle ruins from the north, and with the sketchbook turned in the opposite direction is a view from the south-west. Between the two sketches are two outlines of distant hills, presumably the Cumbrian hills to the south.

Other sketches of Penrith Castle appear on folios 34 verso, 41 verso, 49 and 53 (D25590, D25604, D25618, D25625).
