Scenery of the river Dart : being a series of thirty-five views representing the most interesting features in its course, from its source in the wildest & most uncultivated parts of Dartmoor, to its mouth in the English Channel : executed to form as nearly as possible facsimiles of the drawings, and therefore calculated not only to interest the admirers of nature, and those unacquainted with the country, but also to form a set of studies for the learners of landscape drawing / drawn and engraved by F.C. Lewis.
