The Rivers of England is a series of watercolour paintings by the British artist J.M.W. Turner produced between 1822 and 1824. The seventeen works were commissioned by the engraver William Bernard Cooke who published a series of mezzotints based on them.

Of the twenty one mezzotints Cooke eventually published, sixteen were based on Turner, one from William Collins (Eton on the Thames) https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/collins-eton-on-the-thames-for-the-rivers-of-england-engraved-by-t-lupton-t04867 and four on the watercolours by Thomas Girtin a friend of Turner who had died two decades earlier.

The original Turner watercolours are now in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been part of the Turner Bequest of 1851.Shanes p.4
