DescriptionSketches of scenery and geology in Wales and the Welsh Borders, by various artists, [1828-1838], a number of which were published in Roderick Impey Murchison's ‘Silurian System’(1839).
ProvenanceMurchison collection. Although the original 1980s catalogue records the drawings as being by Charlotte Murchison, only three have indications of the artist - Thomas Webster, Charlotte Murchison and Lady Lucy Clive. It has become clear when comparing the drawings to the published versions that the file actually contains work by a number of different artists.
ArrangementThe order which the drawings were arranged in the folder has been retained.
