Album of WaterColours of Tonbridge

UK: James Foster Wadmore, 1880. (UK) No date given, possibly around 1880?, bookplate of James Foster Wadmore who I believe was born in 1822 and lived until 1903. He was associated with the Association of the Royal Institute of British Architects and wrote several books on the buildings and archaeology of the Tonbridge area. I believe these wartercolours are his work as his initials are found on two of them.
