Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Beverley Minster: The North Transept and West Towers’ 1797
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 96 Recto:
Beverley Minster: The North Transept and West Towers 1797
D01002
Turner Bequest XXXIV 91
Pencil on white wove paper, 270 x 210 mm
Blind-stamped with Turner Bequest monogram towards bottom right
Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘91’ bottom right
Stamped in black ‘XXXIV 91’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This is one of three drawings that Turner made at Beverley; another is folio 83 recto (D00989; Turner Bequest XXXIV 79) and a third is on a loose sheet (Tate D01108; Turner Bequest XXXVI N).
This page was cut out and has been reinserted in the wrong place: it belongs after folio 82 (D00988, D40562; Turner Bequest XXXIV 78 and verso), as is shown by the sketch on the verso (D40566), a continuation of the drawing on D00989.
