1903Best.-Nr. 4159Derby United Kingdom: Bemrose and Sons Ltd. 1903. hardcover. Very Good. Various. Publication: Derby London and Watford Bemrose and Sons Ltd. 1903 Formatting: 24mo pp. 136. Condition Report: Very Good. The original publisher's maroon cloth binding remains remarkably tight square and structurally sound exhibiting minimal shelf-wear across the boards and exceptionally bright unoxidised gilt lettering to both the upper cover and spine. Internally the hinges are secure and the text block is firm with pages remaining clean crisp and largely free of foxing. Institutional provenance stamps present to the rear leaf and a notable closed tear along the fold of the rear supplementary map though the volume presents as an exceptionally attractive well-preserved surviving example overall. Catalogue Note: This second edition designated on the title page as the "Twenty-Fourth Thousand" represents a substantially revised and enlarged printing issued directly for the Ullswater Steam Navigation Company. Produced during the height of Edwardian Lake District tourism this pocket-sized guide was crafted to accompany travelers aboard the company's iconic steam yachts navigating England's second-largest lake. The volume is profusely illustrated with half-tone monochrome photographic plates highlighted by a dramatic frontispiece view capturing Ullswater from Gowbarrow Fell alongside three detailed folding maps and two folding panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges. Noteworthy institutional provenance is established by a neat circular blue ink stamp from the Lancaster Public Libraries and associated accession numbers on the rear leaf. Early twentieth-century ephemeral travel guides of this nature were routinely subjected to rigorous field use; consequently surviving examples that retain their fragile folding cartographic inserts in complete unrendered condition have become increasingly scarce on the open market. An evocative and indispensable companion to the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District this official guide invites readers to explore the majestic waters of Ullswater. Combining romantic topography celebrated through prefatory verse by Cumberland with practical navigation local history and sweeping panoramic vistas this charming pocket volume captures the timeless allure of England’s most celebrated fells.
