This painting, as well as its famous companion, "Cologne," appears to have passed directly from Tuner into the collection of James Wadmore, which comprised many important canvases by Turner, Wikie, and others, and a few old masters. Mr. Wadmore died at his residence in Upper Clapton, in 1853, and his pictures, numbering 186, were sold the following year. The Gentleman's Magazine of contemporary date makes special mention of the sale of the "Cologne" and the Dieppe" paintings. They were bought by Mr. John Naylor, J.P. Lord of the Manor of Leighton, Welshpool, and remained in his collection until his death in 1906. Bryan lists them as being in the possession of Mrs. Naylor after this date. 123 CW
