New Map of the Lake District of Cumberland, Westmoreland and Lancashire
Each map is folded and inserted in a pocket in the front or back cover. Folding is in three stages,
Folding does no good to the map. While this method does less damage than others, each map was creased wrongly on some folds and each is stained in the centre panels from contact with the card of the cover.
