"One of Lakeland’s most famous features, this 2000 ton stone, some 30 feet high, fifty feet across and ninety feet in circumference, rests in a state of delicate balance. It did not topple down from the mountain side like most visitors assume, for it is not a local rock. It was most likely carried here from Scotland by the glaciers of the Ice Age.

"It possibly gets its name from Balder, son of the Norse God Odin, but there are no legends attached to this boulder." — Visit Cumbria

Bowder Stone – Then and Now 100+ years later

Oddly enough, there are few visible changes in the Bowder Stone over the past 100 years.

The well known Stepping Stones across the River Rothey between Ambleside and Pelter Bridge on the Under Loughrigg Road.

Looking at many of the Flickr photographs of the Stepping Stones, it seems what time of year you visit determines how dry (or wet) your 'stepping' will be!

Your scans are way too over-sharpened.
Jon (LOC P&P) said:
Hi gregoreverb, I suggest looking at the high-resolution tiff image we have for this photochrom at www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002696899/. Our scanning specs for this collection can be found at www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/pgz/digitizing.html This is probably also a good time to remind people that these photochroms are not actually photographic. A black and white negative is used to make colored lithographic stones that print the various colors. The final product is a print that resembles a color photograph. You can read more about the photochrom process at www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/pgz/process.html.

Thanks for your reply, Jon. Yes, they do look much better at full resolution. I understand the photochrom process. I thought they might have been hand-colored black and white photographs.
