Item description from seller

14cm. two Leporello strips, map, 12pp text. Original decorated blindstamped maroon grained-cloth gilt. Lettering to foot of first strip map cropped. The Manx Notebook states: This dates from c.1875 and is a strip map of the route of the "Long route Douglas to Ramsey" which had become a tourist attraction involving a day long circular trip by horse drawn charabanc from Douglas - Ballacraine - Kirk Michael - Ramsey - Laxey - Douglas. It comprises two Leporello strips, a small map and a textual description of the routes and some of the attractions. The main strip map, which would be the main selling point, is printed on good quality glossy china thin card , the other sections on poor quality paper. It is probable that the main strip was printed in Saxony as the paper and images are very similar to those known to be of German origin but the considerably inferior other strip and text were printed locally. Samuel Webb came to Douglas in 1858. Webb's Public Lounge was established in Strand Street. Not in Cubbon or DISCOVER.…
