See also the Heidelberg up to Salzburg sketchbook (Tate D29965, D29969–D29970, D29972, D29977, D29986; Turner Bequest CCXCVIII 76a, 78a–79, 80, 83, 88) and the Vienna up to Venice (Tate D31483–D31486, D31495; Turner Bequest 34a–40a).
Technical notes:
A brown particle or piece of fibre is embedded in the paper at centre. Top right corner missing with a very small tear present, there is evidence of paper restoration on this corner. Water stains present, presumably owing to the Tate Gallery flood of 1928.
