Sketches of profile and stern of a brigantine? and topographical sketch of Cape Finisterre...1843

No. 2 of 30 (PAH3772 - PAH3801)

The coastal profile on the lower part of the sheet is drawn in the manner in which naval officers were required to draw distant coasts. Schetky would have taught his students at Portsmouth to draw such coastal ‘profiles’.

The drawing is inscribed in the upper left ‘T Heaviside [?] Esq/69 Cornhill’, in the upper right ‘1st May 1843’ and in the lower left ‘Cape Finisterre – bearing N.N.E./ about 12 miles’.
