{"product_id":"tomblesons-thames-and-medway","title":"Tombleson's \"Thames and Medway\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eWell 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,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art, Prints\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bishopsgate Press, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780900873300\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bishopsgate Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £3.06","offer_id":47914857005233,"sku":"SB-0900873302-C3","price":3.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0900873302.jpg?v=1789226580","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/tomblesons-thames-and-medway","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
