Map, uncoloured lithograph, The Lake District, scale about 4 miles to 1 inch, by J Bartholmew, Edinburgh, published by Simpkin, Marshall and Co, Stationers' Hall Court, London and J Heywood, Deansgate, Manchester, 1870s?
Folded and tipped in opposite p.3 of The English Lakes, How to See Them for Five and a Half Guineas, by John Bradbury.
There is a red line overprint showing the route described in the guide book.
A bad join line runs N-S roughly through Lorton, an error in the preparation for lithography.
