I assume that George Walker wrote the text as well as painting the originals of the prints - I've never seen any suggestion that anyone else was the author. He came from Yorkshire and clearly knew the county well. The article here http://theleedslibrarycollections.blogspot.com/2012/12/walkers-costume-of-yorkshire-1814.html has some interesting information - the Leeds Library is a private subscription library that still exists.

A small part of the text was missing, so glad you reproduced it here. Have we any idea who wrote the words? They will soon be on a wall in New Zealand, I would love to be able to name the author (and even date the text...). Probably asking too much here.
