William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1814. goto sourcepage 25:- "..." "This view [plate 43] shews the junction of the lake and the Screes about the shivering part of the mountain; the enclosures at the foot of the water at Crook, and those at Wastdale Head, vary the scene, by their contrast to the rest of the rude materials which compose it. ...Yewbarrow, Kirk Fell, and Gable (the last of which is the most remote object) are all seen in distance." |
