Index prepared by Michael Steer

This volume is intended to be a 'Pictorial Companion' to Samuel Rowe's (1848) celebrated Perambulation of Dartmoor and the Venville Precincts. It consists of one hundred photographic illustrations, with topographic notes, by its author. The black and white photographs are of excellent quality, and do as much justice to the beautiful scenery of the forest as perhaps the cameras of those far-off days were capable of doing. Author Thomas Adolphus Falcon (1872-1944) was an artist born at Pudsey, Yorkshire, who lived in Braunton, Devon, from 1902 until his death. He was a landscape painter of some repute and also produced fine metalwork. Falcon also contributed an article on Dartmoor's ancient graves to the Devonshire Association's Transactions, 1905, vol, 37, and his photographs have recently been reproduced on the Dartmoor Trust website page.
