Annotated drawing of 'Larkins East Indiaman, April 27th (Thursday) 1843'<br><p>No. 5 of 30 (PAH3772 - PAH3801)
</p><p>If the inscription on PAH3777 is correctly read, Schetky made drawings of the 'Larkins' in the East India Docks. Schetky urged his students to draw everything and to annotate their drawings ‘No doubt you are sketching every day. Now I advise you to make minute studies of every kind of boat …, and draw the inside of them as well as sheer and shape – ay, the inside, with all the gear you see in them – nets, crab pots, spars, casks, sails, and everything, most carefully, marking the colours of each, and depend upon it you will find the good of it hereafter.’
</p><p>The drawing is annotated with details of the rigging and inscribed and dated in the upper right 'Larkins East Indiaman-/ April 27th (Thursday) 1843'.<br></p>
