Educational, manuscript (1878)
Now 105 102.Dawn; coloured engraving, after Turner. The earliest example I can give of Turner's depth of feeling in look ing at landscape from youth to age. This is a plate from, I believe, the first work he ever published, and I believe also partly coloured by his own hand. It and the following example are already as pathetic in feeling as any work he ever did to the end of life.
