Tombleson's Panoramic Map of the Thames and Medway was a steel engraved black & white print and published originally as a folded accompaniment to a book "Tombleson's Thames" by William Gray Fearnside, in 1834, in London. The map extends from river Thames source in Gloucestershire to the sea and shows in great detail the towns, countryside, landmarks, railways, bridges and roads. Due to its popularity, a lithographed coloured version of the map was issued separately by James Reynolds, 174 Strand, London, first in 1850 and many times subsequently, later with revised details. To this day, Tombleson's Thames & Medway remains one of the finest maps of river Thames.

William Tombleson (1795 - 1846) was an English artist, illustrator, engraver, writer and printmaker, based in London. In the 1830s, his topographical drawings of the rivers Thames and Medway in England, and the upper and middle River Rhine in Germany, were published as engraved prints and books.
