Got a little birthday present this week, a second hand book by W A Poucher, entitled, Lakeland Journey, and published in 1945. Poucher was famous for his Leica camera studies, especially around the Lake District, Scotland, and wales, he published several guides all illustrated with photos taken with his Leica cameras. I have most of his colour series, picked up cheaply on second hand stalls, like to get my hands on the rest, in addition I have two of his black and white books on lakeland, of which this is one. I simply photographed it with an older ATI graphics card, placed across the plates, a digital camera on a table top tripod, and lit with a single 100 watt household bulb, not something you can do with film, in this case, as the sensor corrects the colour temperature of the tungsten light.

Interesting info.  I enjoy old books, somehow they seem to have more substance.

Nice shot and a lovely illustration of old/new contrast.
