Arrangement
The album appears to have been broken up after sale at Christie's (South Kensington) auction, Topographical Pictures, 25 May 1989. It has been necessary to attempt to reconstruct its arrangement from numbering found on the reverse of the drawings, and from a limited selection of photographs of openings of the intact album obtained in the course of Mitchell Library correspondence with previous owners. The catalogued arrangement diverges from the conjectural original order in the following ways: 1) manuscripts are grouped together at the beginning of the sequence, before f.8; 2) As a possible Australian view, f.9 (possibly originally located between ff.23 & 24) is now placed near the beginning of the sequence for ease of reference
