TURNER, Joseph Mallord William (1775--1851)

The table of contents numbers the plates and illustrations (described as 'vignettes') consecutively from '1 to 80'. The Cooke brothers, William Bernard and George, commissioned Turner to make 'picturesque views' on the southern coast in 1811. Views were also made by several other draughtsmen including Samuel Prout, William Collins RA, Luke Clennell, Edward Blore, J. Hakewill and Peter Dewint.
