This anniversary editions of the best-selling Wainwright Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells turns back the clock fifty years to show his work as it must have looked when it was first penned. Until now, every edition of the guides has been based on images from metal plates. As the plates became worn through years of reprinting, the images lost sharpness and subtlety.
Here for the first time the pages have been re-originated from the author's artwork and can be seen in their full glory once more.
The paper used in the guides, and the bindings of each book, have also been matched as closely as possible to the first editions. The boxed set is contained in a card slipcase, illustrated in the style of the Wainwright books and shrinkwrapped.
The books contained are:
Book One: Eastern Fells
Book Two: Far Eastern Fells
Book Three: Central Fells
Book Four: Southern Fells
Book Five: Northern Fells
Book Six: North Western Fells
Book Seven: Western Fells
