Tombleson’s famous panorama shows the river as a journey, its towns in miniature bird’s-eye view, its locks, bridges and riverside houses named and the railways crossing and recrossing the water. First published in the 1830s, the design stayed in print for a century; this is G. W. Bacon’s colour-printed issue of the later 1930s, probably 1936–1939, brought up to date with the new stations at Falconwood and Cassington, both opened in 1936, and folded into its original green cloth case. Bampton station still appears under the name it lost in May 1940, which also points to an issue before then.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54549172945243,"sku":"P-6-112766","price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112766a.jpg?v=1793287454","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/tombleson-s-panoramic-map-of-the-thames-medway-source-to-the-nore-bacon-c1937-p-6-112766","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
