Catalogue entry

This is the right half of a double-page spread continued to the right from folio 42 verso (D11562; Turner Bequest CXLVIII 23a, now bound opposite), forming a panorama of the Ribble Valley looking north-east towards Pendle Hill, as seen from Red Scar, about three and a half miles north-east of Preston, and just under eleven miles south-west of Browsholme Hall where Turner was based on this leg of his tour. The panorama is the earliest subject in this sketchbook from Turner’s itinerary of 1816.1
For notes on Red Scar House and Browsholme Hall see D11562.
