Another view after Girtin for this series, of Durham on the River Wear, was advertised in the second part of the series as in preparation, but was never published. Turner is said to have touched the proofs of the plates after Girtin for The Rivers of England in respect for his friend's memory, although it is stated that he claimed ‘two guineas a piece’ as a fee (T. Miller, Turner and Girtin's Picturesque Views , 1854, quoted in Eric Shanes, Turner's Rivers, Harbours and Coasts , 1981, p.10). For an example of a proof touched by Turner and inscribed with his initials, see under T04869 . T04870 Ripon Minster on the Rivers Ure and Skell engr. T.
