A number of Edwardian multiviews were labelled Matlock and Matlock
Bath, some of which were available as
both colour and sepia versions. These examples were published by
Jackson & Son.
The first and second cards here show:
Rockside
Hydro | The Bank | Smedley's Hydro
Pic Tor | Via
Gellia | South
Parade | Cromford Church | High
Tor
Via Gellia | Grand
Pavilion (4th image down) | The
Wishing Stone
Below is a somewhat different design style, from the same publisher.
It retains the borders around the edge, but the border colour is
the same as the background as there are only four images on this
card.
Other cards had the title of Matlock or Matlock Bath, yet the images
on them were not restricted to one place or the other.
All very confusing!
See
a similar mutiview as the first two images, also of Matlock & Matlock
Bath and also published by Jackson & Son.
Labelled as "Matlock", Jackson's fourth shows only
two views of Matlock. |

The images are, clockwise from top
left:
Promenade and Heights of Jacob | Dale and High Tor
Pic Tor and Promenade (Matlock) | South Parade and Heights of
Abraham
River Derwent from Lovers' Walk | Dale Road (Matlock)
