Print, colour printed, Grasmere, from the Wishing Gate, Westmorland, published by John Garnett, Windermere, Westmorland, and by Simpkin, Marshall and Co, London, 1860s-70s?
Tipped in opposite p.37 of England's Lakeland, a Tour Therein, by James Payn.
In the text - '... the Wishing Gate. / Most of us are familiar with the beautiful lines of Wordsworth under that title. ... The gate is now new (though well scored over with 'wishes' already), and the wall in its neighbourhood inconveniently and (we believe) maliciously high; but still, a peep over the topmost bar of that gate is not to be forgotten. ...'
