A misprint in Finberg’s 1909 Inventory implies that there are two pages numbered CCLIV 8.1 The correct one lists the page as ‘Blank’ and the other confuses the page with folio 3 recto (D23890; Turner Bequest CCLIV 3) with the title, ‘Landscape with trees and bridge. Part of leaf is torn and the drawing is continued on p.4’.
