Comments

Contains 39 sheets, most of pencil views often spread over two sheets, some washed over, some with inscribed colours notes. The study of Windsor in grey and sepia wash is particularly careful. Made at the very start of his painting career when he was courting Jane Vernon Jackson who came from Droxford. More Droxford views by William from the early period were included in the Burrows Album compiled by his brother-in-law's family. He may have gone to Hastings on the instigation of William Collins.
