Additional information
This drawing bears strong stylistic similarities to works by HH from 1797 which were copies after other artists. One example of HH copying WC (William Calcott) can be found at Maps K.Top.34.26.c. which although it is signed 'WC' and dated 1778, the watermark of 1794 demonstrates that it is a copy by the other signatory, HH, who has dated the work 1797.
