Carte de visite Paul Frecker A topographical carte-de-visite showing a view of Land's End, the most westerly tip of the English mainland. A headland on the Penwith peninsula, it is located near Penzance in Cornwall. The name has particular resonance because it is so often used in outlining the length of Britain when races, walks and charitable events take place between Land's End and the Scottish village of John o'Groats, the most north-easterly settlement in mainland Britain. The phrase 'Land's End to John o'Groats' is frequently used both as a literal journey and as a metaphor meaning 'all of Great Britain'.
Photographed by J. Moody of Penzance, identified recto in the margin and verso by his backplate, which incorporates an etching of St Michael's Mount, another famous landmark in Cornwall. An inscription on the page of the album in which this was found identified the location.
