More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In Portrait of Richmond Stuart Saul has taken a
personal approach to capturing the essence of
Richmond through his photography, making the
most of his intimate knowledge of the area to
reveal little-known aspects alongside more familiar
locations. He has planned the book, roughly, to
start at Kew Bridge, progress through Kew to
Richmond, walk around Richmond Centre and
Richmond Riverside, look at general scenes and
discover some attractive architectural details,
progress into Richmond Park and then into
Petersham and Ham, finishing at Teddington Lock.
There is a detour down the Sandycombe Road
which is a less elegant "Victorian railway age" road
which contrasts strongly with the opulence of
18th century and Edwardian Richmond. There is
a selection of night photographs which add to the
atmosphere of the book.
Richmond is located less than ten miles from the
centre of London and constitutes one of the
two main towns within the Borough of
Richmond upon Thames, the other being
Twickenham. The district sits on the south side
of the River Thames opposite East Twickenham,
but owing to the way this stretch of the Thames
meanders Richmond actually lies east of the
river, which curves northwards around the town
in its course from Petersham to Kew. Richmond
has a rich history, much of it connected to
royalty. Henry VII had a palace built in Sheen
around 1500, naming it Richmond Palace, after
the castle in Yorkshire.

Portrait of Richmond,
By
This review is from: Portrait of Richmond (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully produced book, demonstrating that Stuart has a keen eye for just the right shot. I've been giving it as a Xmas present to friends who live in that area.
