We suspect that this, too, is a copy of an engraving, but the source has not been identified.
Pencil drawing by Cassandra entitled ‘The Bourne and part of the Fortress from the Neva St Petersburghâ. Inscribed at right corner ‘CE Austen’.
This drawing is a copy of an illustration with the same caption, reproduced in Heathâs Picturesque Annual for 1836, , published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green and Longman (London, 1836), shown below.
When Cassandra gifted this sketch to her sailor brother Frank, she was in her sixties. Frank, too, was a visual artist.
