This bookmark is made in France and is a Stanhope or 'peeper'" bookmark. It is probably silver plate over brass and made between 1890 and 1920.

The six photos are: '"The Station'", '"Cartmel Church'", '"Grange from the Station'", '"Grange from YEWBARROWCRAG'", '"St. Paul''s Church'" and '"Grange Hotel'". It also says Made in France.
