How do I find out about this pencil drawing I have? It is 1830s Caernarfon Castle. On the back is the initials E.P. Found in an antique shop.

Are you sure it's pancil and not some sort of silver gelatin print?
Anyway, that's a sexy composition for some no-name artist. Maybe find a fine prints dealer.

Not sure, I wouldn't think so . The only other info I have is that the paper is watermarked 1829.

J WHATMAN 1829 water mark when held up to the light

According to google there was a papermaker named James Whatman. Maybe the watermark is just the brand of paper.

Whatman used to make the go-to watercolour paper. They made it at a mill in Maidstone, Kent (England). Sometimes small batches of it appear on eBay.
It was Turner's fav paper.
That looks like a print not pencil

I'm glad you think it looks that good!
