Title:
Journal of a Three Week's tour, with Thomas Phillips Esqr. R.A., from London, through Rouen, Vernon & Mantes, to Paris, in the Autumn of 1815
Scope & Content:

Unpublished manuscript travel journal of Dawson Turner (1775-1858) written in the hand of Mary Turner (1774-1850), Dawson's wife, documenting a three weeks' tour taken with portrait artist Thomas Phillips (1770-1845), travelling through France in the autumn of 1815. Turner travels from London to Brighton and Newhaven and then through Dieppe, Rouen, and Paris before returning to England via Calais.

The volume contains approximately 86 illustrations, including 48 original drawings and 38 etchings and engravings. 20 identified as by Thomas Phillips, with others identified as by artists including John Sell Cotman, Alexander von Humbolt, J Scott, and etchings by Mary Turner herself.

Further inserts towards the end of the volume include Dawson Turner's folio passport completed in manuscript and dated 28 September 1815, a large folding printed menu for Legaque, Restaurateur, rue de Rivoli, No. 7 with manuscript amendments to dishes and prices, a printed list of the works of ancient art which were taken from Rome by the French in 1797 and carried to Paris, and a manuscript appendix giving the state of the picture gallery of the Louvre in 1816.
