Prints from The Danube follow the great river from its upper reaches to the Iron Gates, with William Henry Bartlett's drawings, made from sketches taken on the spot by Abresch, illustrating William Beattie's account of its history, scenery and topography. The London publication is represented by issues dated 1840 to 1842. Town prospects, castles, cathedrals and crossings take in Ulm, Regensburg, Passau, Linz and Vienna, and further downstream the views reach Kazan Gorge, Golubac, Vidin and Ruse. Architectural interiors and historic inscriptions add close detail, and a map follows the river from its source to the Black Sea.
