The view looks north-east along the Upper and Lower Walks (the Pantiles) towards the chalybeate springs, animated with promenading figures and coaches, emphasising the social life that centred on the waters. Lodging houses, shops and assembly buildings line the walks, while wooded hills and open commons frame the settlement. The engraving is \"humbly dedicated to Thomas Pellet M.D.\", reflecting the medical culture underpinning the town’s rise; Pellet also edited Sir Isaac Newton’s Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms. Originally published in Harris’s History of Kent, the print provides a vivid contemporary panorama of the town during its early Georgian popularity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52367314485595,"sku":"P-8-006573","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-006573a_7f9a4eaf-b17d-47c4-b3d1-c211a80a2ffe.jpg?v=1770910941","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/view-of-tunbridge-wells-humbly-dedicated-to-thomas-pellet-badeslade-kip-1719-p-8-006573","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
