Above: Court Garden & Great Marlow c1793 by Farington, Stadler col. From Joseph Farington's (1747-1821) 'History of the River Thames', 1794.

'History of the River Thames' was a two volume publication including 74 original aquatint prints with hand colour.  Illustrations drawn by Joseph Farington and engraved in aquatint by Joseph Constantine Stadler and finished with hand colour.  The works were published by J & J Boydell of London, then located at Shakespeare Gallery, Pall Mall and at 90 Cheapside.  The publication is noted as one of the grandest and most important books on the Thames. "although not the first coloured aquatint book, it was the first major one, and it was to set an example for the type of illustration that was to enjoy widespread popularity in England for some forty years" - Bruntjen (John Boydell 1719-1804).
