Turner on the Thames River Journeys in the Year 1805

In this beautiful book, David Hill retraces Turner's journeys along the Thames during 1805: his explorations of the river in his immediate neighbourhood; his sailing trips upstream to Oxford or down the River Wey to Guildford and Godalming; and his adventures downstream through the Port of London and out to the open waters of the Estuary and the Nore. Hill charts the growth of Turner's association with the river, the way in which he transformed his sketches from this period into paintings, and the influence of his Thames experience on the rest of his career.Hill, David is the author of 'Turner on the Thames River Journeys in the Year 1805', published 1993 under ISBN 9780300053890 and ISBN 0300053894.
