For Lyon and Turner’s views in this sketchbook and elsewhere, see folio 35 verso of this sketchbook (D04428). As first noticed by David Hill in correspondence with the author, a slight sketch of buildings on folio 36 verso (D04430) extends the present view to the right.1 Turner’s inscription, meaning ‘Ditto’, refers mainly to folio 36 (D04429).
