Gezicht over de Theems bij Nuneham Courtenay before 1867

This is the cover of a book titled "The Book of The Thames" by Francis Frith, a famous English photographer active from 1822 until 1898. The book features a picturesque view of the river Thames at Nuneham Courtenay, likely a scene captured by Frith himself. The cover is designed with an elegant gold and purple color scheme and features a central circular image of the Thames scene, surrounded by ornate floral and animal motifs in a gothic-inspired design, showcasing the popular aesthetic of the time. This book, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Frith's contributions to the burgeoning field of photographic art.
