The similarity of the two views appears to be the reason that Chief Librarian Johannes Andersen attributed the work to Bambridge. However the style is not that of Bambridge, The drawing is on a page that has been removed from a bound volume, with rust marks down the remains of the gutter., File Print (DFP-003714) In Drawings & Prints under Artist/Title , File print available in Turnbull Library Pictures (DFP-007264) 13.
