The original was a concertina of 45 printed and hand-coloured sheets, glued together to form a magnificent 60ft depiction of the rivers north and south banks or Middlesex and Surrey banks, as they were then from Westminster Bridge to Petersham Meadows in Richmond. Among the buildings that stood along this 30-mile stretch of river in those days were many that no longer exist including the Houses of Parliament before they burned down in 1834, or the factory owned by the father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel but others still stand today. A great deal of the original panorama shows just trees and foliage, so for this book it has been edited down to feature the most interesting sections. These are grouped into 19 villages, each with a short 200-word introduction. The buildings are captioned (in the present tense, for vivid appeal), and there is an AZ detailing landmarks and key buildings in each section.0Written in collaboration with local experts and various local history societies, these descriptions are richly informative and include information on the waterway, the landscape, and the people who lived and worked on the banks of the river at the end of the Georgian era. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 18th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Thames River (England) $x History $y 18th century $v Pictorial works. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 651 7 $a England $z Thames River. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239979 648 7 $a 1700-talet $2 sao 648 7 $a 1800-talet $2 sao 650 7 $a StaÌder $x historia. $2 sao 650 7 $a Byggnadshistoria. $2 sao 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 sao 651 7 $a England $z Themsen. $2 sao 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423874 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423874 700 1 $a Sanders, Jill. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014081106 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217021536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D5953110065411E8AD8CF06897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
