Many 18thC and 19thC artists painted topographical scenes of the county which included rivers, especially the Trent. Many are held or documented by Nottingham Castle Museum.
Very atmospheric drawings of various river and canal scenes were drawn by T W Hammond in the early 20thC (copies at Nottinghamshire Local Studies Library).
