More Information

InscribedBack Label: On the left of this drawing, is a Halbbank wood, between which and on the hill behind Mr. Askew's House is the road to "Glenidding Village" and to the mountains in the background, which are Helvellyn Catchidecam, and Striding edge. The latter takes its name from the extreme sharpness of its steep summit, which can only be passed with careful stride.
