Overview

Excerpt from Eighty Picturesque Views on the Thames and Medway: Engraved on Steel by the First Artists The descriptive view of any principal river naturally comprehends an account of the most interesting and picturesque portion of the country through which its course is directed. Towns and cities are always found upon its banks, and where Nature has not embellished its precincts, the display of art in raising the princely fabric, or rich domain, have assisted in beautifying its margin. In ancient times, the castle reared its embattled walls to protect its fords, and the lonely cloister and stately abbey were usually erected near the sequestered meanderings of its silent waters.
