Est: £30 GBP - £60 GBPPassed
Antikbar Original Vintage PostersLondon, United KingdomJune 24, 2023

Item Overview

Description

Original antique engraving Source of the Thames. Engraved by Thon (the name is cut of). Features a view over the river source out of the ground surrounded by trees. The source of the Thames was said to be at Thames Head, in a field near Kemble, not far from Cirencester. In actuality, the source of the River Thames does not have a fixed location – rather, it changes according to the level of the groundwater in the limestone. In dry periods, the groundwater level falls, causing the Thames Head springs to dry up and the river to begin lower down in its course. In wet conditions, the groundwaters rise and the river can begin at one of the Thames Head springs. Country:UK, year of printing: 1831, designer: Unknown, dimensions (cm): 20.5x14.
