An original antique geological map of the English LAKE DISTRICT (Map of the English Lakes and adjoining country, geologically coloured). The map is unframed and unmounted (printed area 460x430mm) and appears to be hand coloured. It was published by John Garnett of Windermere in 1855. This is an early, and scarce geological map of the Lake District. Although overall in good condition there is some loss to part of the lower left margin (including some of the frame. A split along the centrefold has been repaired, and there is a small closed tear (left margin) which just impinges on the printed area.
