Tombleson’s Thames and the Medway

Tombleson’s Thames and the Medway

Reproduction of the book of the same name first published c. 1830 by Black and Armstrong of 80 fine steel engravings depicting views along the rivers Thames and Medway. At the time the pictures were considered the most beautiful ever created and so most of the original books have been broken up so that the individual prints could be hand-coloured and framed.

Hardback with dust jacket, Small tear at top of the spine (repaired with archival tape). Front fly clipped. Very good condition.
