Tombleson's Panoramic Map of the Thames and Medway

[TOMBLESON]

FIRST EDITION TOMBLESON MAP WITH HAND COLOURING

[TOMBLESON] Tombleson's Panoramic Map of the Thames and Medway

J.Reynolds, 1834.

First edition. Map size 11''x 4'3''. Frame 154cm x 50cm. India paper with steel engraving of the Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the sea with detail of the towns and countryside through which it passes. Finely hand coloured, whilst still retaining the clarity of line in the steel engraving. A very good copy indeed with some creasing from the folds.

The first edition of the most famous panoramic map of the Thames, issued as an accompaniment to the book, Tombleson's Picturesque Views on the Thames and Medway. It is generally an uncoloured steel engraving. However, "copies of this edition are met with, where the plates are coloured....[and] the map is similarly altered." (Cohen - The Thames 1580-1980 A General Bibliography)
Due to its popularity the map was reprinted and lithographically coloured for many years, but the clarity of the engraving of these later editions is noticeably inferior.
