Our Native Land, its scenery and associations. A series of 36 water-colour sketches after Rowbotham, Read, Needham, and other eminent artists. With descriptive notes. [The author of the text identified on the wrapper of pt. 1 as “the author of By Loch and by Land”, i.e. Jean L. Watson
A British topographical gift book of 1879, published by Marcus Ward & Co. with descriptive notes by Jean L. Watson, reproducing 36 water-colour sketches after Thomas Rowbotham, Read, Needham and others for general home readers. The plates are pale chromolithographs of river and country views — Richmond Bridge, Hampton Court, reedy banks with rowing boats — with washed skies and soft green foliage, while the text carries small wood-engraved vignettes of waterfalls, birches and woodland; useful for muted landscape backgrounds, tree silhouettes and framed plate layouts.
