A Collection of Wainwright’s Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells
This lot comprises seven pictorial guides to the Lakeland Fells, authored by the renowned Alfred Wainwright. These guides, covering various regions of the Lake District, are celebrated for their detailed maps, charming illustrations, and Wainwright’s distinctive writing style. This is a 20th anniversary edition set, offering a comprehensive resource for fell walkers and enthusiasts of the English countryside. The guides are designed to be carried easily on walks, providing essential navigational information and insights into the unique character of each fell.
Condition and Collectibility
These guides exhibit signs of age and use, consistent with their vintage nature. The covers show some wear, and the pages may have minor foxing or creasing. Despite this, the guides remain structurally sound and retain their informative content. This set would be of particular interest to collectors of Wainwright’s work, fell walking enthusiasts, and those seeking a nostalgic glimpse into the history of Lakeland exploration.
