Tombleson's "Thames and Medway"
Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Well known by discerning collectors, this series of 80 fine steel engravings, depicting views along the rivers Thames and Medway, was made around the year 1830,
At that time they were considered to be among the most beautiful of their kind ever created and today most of the books in which they were reproduced have disappeared - broken up so that the individual prints could be detached, hand-coloured and framed.
While the views are outstanding in their own right, the text was also enthralling both for its description of the Thames-side areas and for the flowing and flexible style in which it was written. Typical is the story of Fair Rosamond and her romance with Henry II at the Abbey of Godstow, on the Thames. It is difficult to imagine a more eloquent rendering.
In this new edition of that book, 140 years later, the appeal is two-fold: satisfying our 1980s nostalgia for a quieter, less exploited rural England, and offering a chance to won a beautiful and technically fine set of reproductions which can scarcely fail yo grow in material value.
