Marbled boards, red leather spine and corners (7 3/8 x 9 7/8 ins). 28 ff., (paper size 7 1/4 x 9 1/2 ins) the earliest being studies of Winchelsea and Rye, 1 and 13 July 1827 and two of the old blockade Station at Rye (cf. 'Stanfield’s Coast Scenery' plate of this subject, possibly the inspiration for David Copperfield), one of which is labelled 'Pegotty's House': also 'Broadstairs with Bleak House' (cf. 'Coast Scenery'), but the hand of the inscription is in neither case Stanfield's. Unlabelled sketch of Pegwell Bay. Venetian sketches and Claudian classical cityscape compositional sketches; dramatic pencil and wash preliminary ideas for 'The Dogana and Sta Maria della Salute' plate in Heath's 'Picturesque Annual' 1832 (finished watercolour in BM) and for 'St Michael's Mount', now in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne: other figure studies in pencil and two heads in wash and watercolour. Two loose sheets: one of a stile, pencil (7 1/4 x 7ins) on buff paper: the other of an old man in a striped gown and cap, seated in a chair (5 1/2 x 9 1/4 ins). Both these are from other sketchbooks, the latter probably an Italian subject. From the studio collection of Clarkson Stanfield RA, acquired 9.04 (Bagshawe Collection). [PvdM 5.06]
