On the sheet of the scrap book to which this is pasted,an inscription has been written in a similar hand to the title at beginning of the scrap book " The Village of Mytha in Glamorganshire with the ironworks of Edward Bacon Esq" .
See number 71 (ABDAG017696) which is a tone study for part of this.
