Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Printed Page of Coltman's 'British Itinerary'’ c.1811
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 113 Recto:
Printed Page of Coltman’s ‘British Itinerary’
D08577
Turner Bequest CXXIII 110
Engraved text (see main catalogue entry) on white wove printing paper, 117 x 75 mm
Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘110’ top right
Stamped in black ‘CXXIII – 110’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
The printed text comprises sections 218 to 224 of the ‘Direct Roads from London’ section of the British Itinerary. For a concordance of its interleaved pages, see the introduction to the sketchbook.
This page has been noted as showing a view of Falmouth, but there is no drawing present and folio 112 verso opposite (D08576; CXXIII 109a) was presumably meant.1
