(vide Bulmer's History and Description of North Yorkshire, 1890, sourced 2015-08-10)

though the publisher is unnamed, it is possible, given that the artist was Sir John Watson Gordon, the engraver was Burton and the printers were McGlashan and Wilding that the publisher was Alexander Hill. Hill, and his brother David Octavius Hill, worked in close partnership with Alexander McGlashan, partner in McGlashan and Wilding.
