Folio 114 Verso:
Numbers 1832
D24392
Turner Bequest CCLVII 114a

Turner noted down several numbers on this page and included a very slight sketch of an indeterminate subject in the bottom right-hand quadrant. Landscape vistas are the subject of the drawings on folio 115 recto opposite (D24393; Turner Bequest CCLVII 115), so the markings on this page may relate to these.
Technical notes:
The page is marked by several light brown smudges.
