About This Item

1913. With Twenty-Four [Photographic] Illustrations and a Map. London: Methuen & Co., (1913). 32 pp ads Dated July 1912. Original blue-green cloth.

First Edition of this early account of traveling through the Lake District by way of that new-fangled contraption, the motorcar. Fourteen sightseeing routes are described in detail -- including the gradient of the steeper climbs, since not all motorcars could handle them. Except for some fading of the spine, this is a fine copy. Provenance: "Brackenburn" bookplate of Hugh Walpole -- though with the additional typed slip "From Hugh Walpole's Library, with his Bookplate" -- which, though Walpole did know Abraham, indicates the involvement of the not-always-reliable bookseller D. Arnold Varty (see Charles Nugent's monograph on this matter in the Autumn 2021 Hugh Walpole Review).
