Spanning the Thames; from the Barrier to Teddington Lock

Publisher: Artists’ Choice Editions, £12.95
Publication Date: 2008

A collection of twenty paintings, sketches and prints by contemporary artists, linked by a story or an historical commentary, with quotations from authors and poets who have been inspired by the river. Essays on the Dome, Canary Wharf, the Cutty Sark, the Millenium and other, older, bridges and the London Eye. In this unusual book the varied illustrations are complemented by the text. It is a miniature “coffee table” book suitable, perhaps, as a Christmas present or a memento. – JFP
