Description: | A scene on the River Cam near Cambridge showing a boat progressing along. There are a couple of horses on the river bank and a number of country cottages in the background. The River Cam was the quickest method of transporting goods in and out of the town, particularly as the town had developed around a crossing point of the river. The artist is Peter Spendelowe Lamborne (1722-1774), an engraver and architectural draughtsman who trained in London with Isaac Basire, and who later worked around Cambridge. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Lamborne, P.S. | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
