Paper appears to be the same as that used for Wright's study of Charles de St-Evremond (DBYMU 1996-1/29). It is the same buff tone and is a little rough in areas, carrying 'inclusions' such as fibres. It is possible that the paper for these drawings was originally part of one sheet, cut down to create multiple sheets. [LB and ME: 2024]
