Yorkshire Vales and Wolds

The Yorkshire Post says: ‘All lovers of Yorkshire scenery, and especially coast scenery, will welcome Mr. Gordon Home’s “Yorkshire Coast and Moorland Scenes.”... The illustrations, as we have said, are wonderful examples of colour printing, and many of the moorland scenes have been reproduced beautifully, especially the “Sunset from Danby Beacon,” which seems to have retained the Cleveland atmosphere in a remarkable manner.’

The Literary World says: ‘We must say at once that Mr. Gordon Home’s “Dales and Fells” is just the book that was wanted. In it are reproductions in colour of twenty of his pictures. These are delightful, and, what is more, they combine with his letterpress in constituting a genuinely illustrative and artistically suggestive book.’

YORK FROM THE MINSTER

The view is taken from the great central tower, whose parapet shows in the foreground with the roof of the nave and western towers beyond. Bootham Bar and part of the city wall are on the right, and between the towers can be seen the roofs of the Tudor building known as the King’s Manor.

Preface

In two previous books, entitled ‘Yorkshire Coast and Moorland Scenes’ and ‘Yorkshire Dales and Fells,’ I have described the northern half of the great county, and in this third volume I have in a similar manner dealt with the southern parts. The three books, therefore, complete a description of what has appealed to me as most notable in Yorkshire, on account of picturesqueness or association with historic events and great personages. Owing to the enormous area of the county and the treasures it contains, the task of selection has not been easy, and the work of exploring, note-taking, painting, and writing, has spread over some four years. I have endeavoured to quote only from the most reliable and authentic sources, and in doing so have avoided some errors which have reappeared several times in writings of the last twenty years. Should any inaccuracies be discovered, however, I shall be grateful to anyone who will point them out. To those who are not familiar with Yorkshire, I may mention that the places I have described are easily reached from the South, the journey to York from King’s Cross only taking three or four hours.
