<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lithographer, post: 10423336, member: 13308&quot;]I purchased this drawing over the weekend in an antique shop. It appears to be an ink drawing done on a sketchbook page. The viewable image is 9 X 7. I looked at some old engravings and I think I have correctly identified the subject as Bristol Cathedral. I was wondering what people think? The date is written in the form we were taught in the states, which makes me wonder if the artist was from here. Do you think there is a possibility that there is more writing under the mat?&nbsp; I see a stray mark in the lower left corner, but it appears to be part of the drawing. I did look at sketchbook examples on the net from artists like JMW Turner, Joshua Reynolds and John Constable, it didn&#039;t seem like people signed their sketchbook drawings. What is the likelihood that this was done by a documented artist, is the skill level up to par? Any comments appreciated, as always.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]524568[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]524569[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]524570[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]524571[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]524572[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]524573[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]524574[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
