Mist, showers and evening light play over the fells in prints from The English Lakes, painted by Alfred Heaton Cooper, described by William T. Palmer and published by Adam & Charles Black in London in 1908. Coniston, Grasmere, Derwentwater and Ullswater feature on a journey through lakeshores, high passes and valleys, where the weather gives familiar places a new look. Village streets, inns and churches sit beside waterfalls and mountain tarns, charcoal burners, shepherds, fishermen and fell hunters bring in local work, and Dove Cottage and Brantwood recall the district's literary associations.
