    Critical commentary
    This is the latest in the small series of Britsh drawings by Wilson. Paul Sandby probably added the trees on the right as they are drawn on a separate sheet of paper. The drawing was used for P165 Dinas Bran from Llangollen - I, Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection
