Comment
In his manuscript “Notebooks on Artists”1 Joseph Farington wrote of Towne that “in 1771 He exhibited at the room of the Incorporated Society in Spring gardens, a view near Exeter which was much admired”. For the third year running Towne’s address in the exhibition catalogue was given as “at Mr.Pars’s, Percy-street, Soho”.
