Watering-Places of England - Dover: the Town and Heights, 1850. Creators: Birket Foster, Edmund Evans
Watering-Places of England - Dover: the Town and Heights, 1850. Owing to the clearness of the water, and the gradual declivity of the shore, the sea-bathing at Dover is considered to be equal to any in the kingdom. Anciently, Dover is supposed to have derived its name from Dwfyrrha, signifying a steep place; or it may have taken its name from the river Dour, which...forms the back-water to the harbour, thence discharging itself into the sea. Dour appears to have been latinized into Dubris, and changed by the Saxons into Dover...As a watering-place, Dover is resorted to rather by those who seek the enjoyment and benefit of sea-bathing, together with more retirement and less excitement than attends a residence at Brighton or Margate. The castle is a grand object of interest'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

The image showcases the town and heights of Dover, with its clear waters and gradual shore perfect for sea-bathing. Known for its ancient origins possibly derived from Dwfyrrha or the river Dour, which flows into the sea, Dover has long been a popular watering-place for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation through sea-bathing.
The engraving highlights the grandeur of Dover Castle overlooking the coast, serving as a focal point of interest for visitors. With its cliffs and fortifications adding to its picturesque charm, Dover is portrayed as a peaceful retreat away from the bustling excitement of Brighton or Margate.
