Brief Description

The appearance of St. Helena was observed at a distance of about 7 leagues on November 5th at p.m.

A watermark on the paper dates back to 1795, indicating its age and origin.

Some of the sketches depict places in south India, but it is worth noting that not all of them are attributed to the Daniells, despite the dealer's label suggesting otherwise.

The sketches lack both title and signature, adding to their enigmatic nature.
