Colonel James Grahme of Levens is a biographical sketch of Jacobite times by Josceline Fitz-Roy Bagot, printed in Kendal in 1886 and centred on the Levens estate and its owner. The photographic plates show the formal topiary gardens and grounds, a seventeenth-century portrait of a man in a long wig and white lace cravat, and a carved oak chimneypiece in the library, giving a designer period detail in clipped hedges, carved panelling and dark tonal portraiture.
