From 'A History of the River Thames' published by John and Joshia Boydell in 1793-1796. The brothers originally intended to include the rivers Thames, Severn, Forth and Clyde. and intended to illustrate an original 'History of those Rivers, including all that adorns, dignifies or enriches them and their Vicinities, whether of Art or Nature'. The project was abandoned at the completion of the 'History of the Thames'. Joseph Constantine Stadler was a printmaker of German origins, working in London between 1780 - 1819. He specialised in aquatint. Joseph Farington (1747-1821) was a landscape painter and diarist. He studied in Manchester, and moved to London in 1763 to be taught in the studio of Richard Wilson.
