The Lake District Collection (LDC) provides access to more than 250 items of bibliographic information, annotations, samples of covers, text, and illustrations from first and rare editions of 18th and 19th century English Lake District travel and landscape books. Of particular bibliographic interest are the many period maps, excellent samples of engraving and illustration techniques and processes, including lithography, chromolithography and photography, as well as ornate bindings.
