Descriptive sketches of Tunbridge Wells and the Calverley estate : with brief notices of the picturesque scenery, seats, and antiquities in the vicinity
A topographical guide published by John Britton in London in 1832, describing Tunbridge Wells and the Calverley estate for travellers and readers of picturesque scenery. Its plates are engraved views of the town's buildings, parkland and surrounding countryside, several printed sideways on the page. A designer might take their tidy line-engraved landscape and architectural detail, with sparse foliage and open sky, as a model for period topographic prints.
