Catalogue entry

With the sketchbook turned horizontally, Turner filled the top half of this page with a study of the medieval Pont Notre-Dame which crossed the Seine in central Paris. Turner made several sketches of this structure in the present volume, a list of which is provided in the sketchbook Introduction. For the watercolour of this subject which Turner worked up with a view to engraved reproduction around this time, see Tate D24684 (Turner Bequest CCLIX 119). This led to an engraving in the 1835 volume of Turner’s Annual Tour: Wanderings by the Loire and Seine (1833–5; later reissued as Rivers of France); see Tate impressions T04722.
