Map, hand coloured engraving, Westmoreland ie Westmorland, scale about 6 miles to 1 inch, by G Cole, engraved by J Roper, 1805, published London, 1858?
Originally drawn to accompany the Beauties of England and Wales by E W Brayely and J Britton; plate no.40 is added; and electoral data, polling places, etc, are added; imprints are erased. (It is suggested that this might have been used in the Curiosities of Great Britain, by Thomas Dugdale but that work uses maps by Archer. It might be the poor lithographic copy published in Collins' Railway and Pedestrian Atlas of England, Darton & Co, London, 1858?)
