Comment
In a letter to James White dated March 1815 Towne mentioned these two pictures, then on view at the British Institution:
Towne visited North Wales in 1777 and the view of the Cayne falls is surely based on a sketch he made then (FT078). The 1815 exhibit cannot have been shown at the Royal Academy in 1798 (FT598), as by 1815 the British Institution had banned the repeat showing of pictures.
