Thames portrait,

By E. Arnot Robertson

Book Overview

Thames Portrait is a book written by E. Arnot Robertson which is set in London, England. The story revolves around a woman named Jane who is a talented painter and has been commissioned to paint a portrait of the Thames River. As she begins to paint, she becomes fascinated by the river and the people who live and work around it. She also becomes involved in the lives of the people she meets, including a young boy who lives on a barge with his family, a wealthy businessman who owns a shipping company, and a group of artists who work in a nearby studio. As Jane continues to paint, she discovers that the Thames is not just a river, but a symbol of the city itself, with all its beauty and contradictions. She also learns about the history of the river, including its role in the city's development and its importance to the people who live there. Throughout the book, Robertson explores themes of art, identity, and community, as well as the relationship between humans and nature. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the river and the people who live and work around it, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in London, history, or the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
