Map, hand coloured engraving, Westmoreland ie Westmorland, scale about 5 miles to 1 inch, by Sidney Hall, published by Chapman and Hall, 186 Strand, London, about 1860s.
The imprint is missing from the bottom, but the map was bought with 2 other sheets from the same atlas, all marked with county name on the back by an owner in the same way, which convinces me they belong together.
The map, first published 1833, is probably from the Travelling County Atlas or the New County Atlas by Sidney Hall, as engraved uptodate for the 1840s but with manuscript additions, coloured railways to the 1860s.
