Both of these parts have the same title and wording including the imprint with a published date of 28th March 1822. However the typography is different. This is a very early lithographic work, particularly to be published outside of London. One part is illustrated with views of Monsal Dale; Chee Tor; two of Dove Dale and Matlock Bath. The second bears plates of Scarthin Nick; Matlock Bath (torn); Matlock High Tor; South Winfield Manor and Haddon Hall. The artist is Eliza Rawlinson most probably a relative of the printer and publisher James Rawlinson (1769-1848). The plates are printed by the great lithographers Hullmandel.

Born in 1769, James Rawlinson was an English portrait painter. He was a native of Derbyshire and studied under Romney. He only once exhibited at the Academy [Royal Academy, London]; this was in 1799 and his picture was of an old woman knitting. His portrait of Erasmus Darwin has been well engraved by Heath. Rawlinson died in 1848. He also painted landscapes. ‘In 1822 he published an album of Derbyshire views. He produced lithographs after drawings by his daughter, Eliza, with whom he visited Italy in 1829.’ He is mentioned in Adam’s “Gem of the Peak” and has an entry in the 1841 Census for Matlock Bath.
