Product description
Engraved by Rapkin and published by Tallis & Co in 1851, this is one of the finest detailed historic maps of the Lakes District.
This beautiful region of England used to be split between Cumberland (Cumbria), Westmorland (which no longer exists) and Lancashire. Today it's situated just in Cumbria in the northwest of England.Around the edges of the map are detailed engravings of beautiful vistas from around Lakeland, including a couple of Windermere, Lancaster Castle, Keswick and Carlisle.
Almost all of the towns, villages and cities of the region can be easily seen in this map. And of course, all of the lakes are here, too, handcoloured in a lovely blue.
