Constable Sketch Found

Hyam Church, Suffolk, a sketch by John Constable which scholars knew to be missing, has turned up in the British Library in London. It was sold by Constable's grandson Eustace at Christie's in 1896. Somehow it entered a 13-volume sketchbook compiled by John Platt JP, who died in 1902. The sketchbook was bequeathed to the British Museum in 1919 and in the 1970s was transferred to the British Library, where it languished until recently chanced upon by the Library's Curator of Topography, Felicity Myrone. It is now on display. How many more treasures await rediscovery in our vaults?
