Georgian seaside resorts, spas and the Lakes, as fashionable travellers found them in 1808, fill these prints and maps from Guide to all the Watering & Sea-Bathing Places, issued for Richard Phillips in London before the railways transformed access to them. Coastal views of Dover, Eastbourne and Brighton show castles, promenades and shorefront buildings, while prospects of Derwentwater and Windermere show that the guide looked well beyond salt-water bathing, to mineral waters and picturesque scenery as well as sea air. The maps cover the coast around Tenby, Milford Haven and Caldey Island.
