Comment
In Agnew’s Drawing Book this was numbered 2612a, listed immediately below FT833b (which was numbered 2612), and called “ditto ditto” (i.e. “From Head of Lake Geneva, looking towards Montreux & Castle of Chillon”). One of these two copies was presumably exhibit 91 in Agnew’s 1938 show, given the title The Head of Lake Geneva, looking towards Montreux and the Castle of Chillon by John White Abbott. On the face of it they appear to be versions of FT379, or perhaps FT377.
