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

A large format poster advertising Mayson's Ordnance Model of the Lake District

at the Repository Lake Road

each section measures approx 505mm x 760mm

no date c1895-1900 or earlier

Mayson's 3D Ordnance relief model of the Lake District measured [as described on the poster] 210 square feet and was quite an attraction and very useful for navigating / planning routes through the lakes. Mayson's Model of the English Lake District was created in 1875 as a visitor attraction in Keswick. The model was commissioned by photographer Henry Mayson and his brother Thomas, and was built by Raffaelle Monti and his team of sculptors using Ordnance survey maps.

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

Posters of this size and period would have been pasted up so could not have been taken down for reuse.

Thank you for looking - increasingly rare thus
