Lit: Andrew Wilton, Turner Abroad, 1982, Turner in his Time, 1987; Cecilia Powell, Turner in the South, 1987; Eric Shanes, Turner's England: 1810–38, 1990
For details of the series, see introduction to T04614-T04630. The engravers responsible for these subjects were: Edward Goodall (1795–1870), Robert Wallis (1794–1878), William R. Smith (active 1820s–50s), James Tibbits Willmore (1800–63) and William Miller (1796 –1882).
One of the engravings, T05106, is recorded as having belonged to the Revd Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832 –1916), a keen enthusiast of Turner's work and the author of Notes on the Liber Studiorum of J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1885.

Lit: Rawlinson 11 1913, no.327, ? reprint
Probably a reprint of the plate published in The Keepsake, 1832, p.265. Original watercolour: British Museum (Wilton 1979, no.1047). As for T05107, the exact description of this state is not given by Rawlinson. Since the style of the engraved inscriptions is identical to that of T05107, it seems likely that this impression is also one of those reprinted for the Gallery of British Engravings, 1836. Rawlinson confirms that ‘Marly’ was reprinted in the later publication.
