The Mersey and Irwell with their principal tributaries. [With illustrations
A topographical survey of the Mersey and Irwell and their tributaries, illustrated by William Robinson and printed by the Manchester Guardian Printing Works in 1888 for readers in the Manchester region. The plates are soft grey landscape views, bound sideways on wide margins, showing wooded riverbanks, weirs and mill-side reaches under broad cloud-filled skies, with fine stipple and hatching that yields usable textures for foliage masses, water surfaces and atmospheric backgrounds.
