Geschichte und Topographie der Rheinufer von Cöln bis Mainz

Tombleson, William, Fearnside, W.G · 1832 · published by W. Tombleson & Comp. · 71 pictures

A German-language topographical history of the Rhine banks from Cologne to Mainz, published in 1832 by W. Tombleson & Co. with text by W. G. Fearnside, aimed at travellers and armchair readers wanting views of the river towns. The engravings are rotated on the page, so the scenes read sideways; their steel-engraved views of towns, castles and hillsides, with soft grey tonal shading and loose foliage, offer a designer reference for romantic riverside landscape and nineteenth-century travel-guide scenery.
