- This drawing was formerly bound into an album as indicated by the number indicating pagination, and the discolouration at the l.r. corner where the page was turned. There are indentations along the l. edge of the sheet, possibly from previous stitching into a binding. Small holes throughout the sheet were made by compass points or dividers. A partial watermark at the c.l. appears to be the other half of the watermark on DR1981:0017:067.
