10. The French Rivers 1827-35
363 - ‘Dieppe, Rouen and Paris’ Sketchbook - A Street in Rouen, looking towards the Cathedral; with Architectural Notes

Dated by Finberg (1909, II, p.785) to about 1830, but subsequently placed earlier (1961, p.271), this book contains numerous views of Rouen showing the old spire of the Cathedral, destroyed in 1822. Many of the sketches here were used as bases for the Rivers of France designs. On ff. 19v, 20r and 34r are notes of the compositions of paintings apparently by Claude and Poussin.
