description

Summary

This image has been taken from scan 000025 from volume 31 of "Dicks' English Library of Standard Works: containing ... novels and stories, etc. (Edited by P. B. St. John.) no. 1-26". The title and subject terms of this image have been generated from tags, created by users of the British Library's flickr photostream.

A humorous 1889 novel by Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon river Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), was thought to be a serious travel guide but slipped into a brilliant specimen of humour (humor). The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff: the time when commercial boat traffic on the Upper Thames had died out, replaced by the 1880s craze for boating as a leisure activity. This collection is a fictional set of illustration to the book as it was initially intended.

Nothing Found.
