Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Architectural Remains of Richmond, Twickenham, Kew, Petersham, and Mortlake: Drawn in Lithography by Thomas R. Way, With Notes Compiled by Frederic Chapman
Amongst these drawings is one, the view from Richmond Terrace, which is not architectural (unless we may look upon the trees which form a screen to the subject as nature's architecture), but Richmond and its River View seem inseparable, and so it is included with the others.
There are probably many buildings with more interesting associations than some of those here drawn, but my selection is mainly based on the picturesque character of the subjects in addition to their antiquity. They have all been drawn directly from nature.
