- Summary:
- A drawing of a sailor signed 'AVprGB' (to the life by Gabriel Bray). This work probably shows a seaman bringing his hammock up to air from below on the 'Pallas' early in Bray's voyage to Africa, even though there is no trace of the ship shown. The hammock is clearly ticketed 'CD No. 4' referring to the man's place and number in the ship, for which Bray may have had particular responsibility. This drawing, or one like it, is also shown being inspected in Bray's sketchbook by James Cornwallis - a relative of the captains who was also on the voyage - in a portrait drawing of him from the same group.
