Catalogue entry

Above is a rapid study of shipping under sail in the Pool of London, looking north-west to the tower of St Magnus the Martyr’s Church, the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral and the Monument. Below are two further sailing boats. More than half the drawings in this sketchbook show the River Thames near Old London Bridge, and are likely to date from 1824; see the Introduction.
