Literature

W. Thornbury, The Life of J.M.W. Turner, R.A., London 1861/2, II, 395, as ‘Washburne, N. (Framed)’.
W. Thornbury, The Life of J.M.W. Turner, R.A., London 1877, pp.344-5.
W. Armstrong, Turner, 1902, p. 283, as ‘Washburne Valley, near Lindley Bridge, 1815-20 [Colonel Lionel G. Fawkes, R.A, ex Farnley Collection. Chr. 1890, Fawkes]’; but also erroneously described on p.284 as ‘Washburne, Valley of, Signed, “J.M.W. Turner, R.A.”… Looking up shallow stream to bridge. Red bank to left. Trees to right. Faded (Found in a cottage near Farnley Hall, See Thornbury, p.344)’. The measurements for this second entry are given as ’13 x 17’, which correspond instead to those of the nearer view of Lindley Bridge, probably dating from c.1824 (Private collection; Wilton 623).
