Description:
|
This is a coloured sketch of the battery at Greenock, but shows the town only by the words 'town of greenock' written in ink, with no plan of the town. There are faint pencil notes in the upper portion of the sketch. It may or may not be part of the series of 7 sketches of batteries around Scotland, and their reports, done by William Gravatt, of the Royal Engineers, in 1795 (in images 00003194, 0003195-3196, 00003197, 00003198, 00003199, 00003200 and 00003202-3203). It is on the right hand side of the sheet of paper, so it is similar in format to the other reports, which had the sketch plan on the right hand side, and a brief report on the left hand side. In this, however, the report seems not to have been written.
