| Object history | These two sketches of Leghorn have been mounted together, and must have formed a page in one of Pugin's bound sketchbooks. Pugin's diary for 1847 records that he left Marseilles by sea on 21 April. the entry for the next day reads 'caught [?] up in Leghorn roads'. Pugin spent 23 April in Leghorn, and that night he continued his journey to Rome. |
