You are looking at an original 19th century poster in 3 sections - as described 

A large format poster advertising Keswick Museum and Flintoft's Celebrated [3D] Model [of the Lake District]

in the Town Hall

Admission One Shilling and after the first visit is FREE during the Season

Keswick Printed at Mayson's Machine Printing Works

each section measures approx 510mm x 760mm

no date c1895-1900?

Flintoft's 3D relief model of the Lake District measured 12' 9" x 9' 3" as was quite an attraction and very useful for navigating / planning routes through the lakes before the common use of Ordnance Survey maps. Originally made back in 1834 [having taken some 17 years to construct] the plaster model was on display throughout the 19th century and remains so in the Keswick Museum. The model was originally displayed in the Moot Hall and moved sometime around 1896.

The large scale of the poster suggests it may have been pasted up on billboards / railway station platforms? [Keswick Cockermouth Penrith Railway Stations?] - this poster is worn but shows no evidence of having been used. - 

Posters of this size and period would have been pasted up - so once used they could not have been removed for re-use.

Thank you for looking - increasingly rare thus
