How to look at a Roberts
- In the Constantinople sheets, find where the white heightening is and notice how little of it there is.
- Trace the value of the buildings from the foreground back. Each row is a step lighter.
- In Dole, find the eye level (the bridge arches give it away) and check that every window sill obeys it.
