Map, colour lithograph, Westmorland, scale about 3 miles
to 1 inch, by Edward Weller, about 1857, published by George
Philip and Son, Liverpool, Merseyside and London, about
1876.
This is one of the first maps to be colour printed; probably first issued in Philips' County Atlas of England and Wales, 1857. The evidence of the railways suggest an edition about 1876, the Settle and Carlisle Railway, open 1876, is shown, but the Arnside to Hincaster branch, also open 1876, is drawn as being in progress. |
