The West Riding of Yorkshire holds a rich historical tapestry, as depicted in various artworks and documents throughout the years. Dating back to 1610, John Speed's map provides a glimpse into the region's past, showcasing its significance even then. Fast forward to 1787, John Tuke's land surveyor skills captured the essence of the County of York in an intricate map that still resonates today. In 1916, "The Heart of the West Riding" painting immortalized this vibrant area on canvas, portraying its beauty and charm for generations to come. The public arms displayed on engravings symbolize different regions associated with the West Riding - Montgomery, Cardiganshire, Northamptonshire - all connected through their ties to Yorkshire. Delving into politics and society, engravings depict new members joining the House of Commons from this influential region. Additionally, five "Wadmen, " inhabitants of a workhouse in the West Riding during engraving times shed light on social dynamics within this community. Even international events left their mark here; photographs from The Transvaal War capture brave defenders hailing from Natal who fought valiantly for their homeland. Meanwhile, engravings showcase significant figures like Sir Titus Salt and Edmund Beckett Denison MP representing this illustrious district. Celebrations erupted when conservative candidates triumphed in parliamentary elections; posters commemorated their victory across towns and villages. Finally, Hardcastle Craggs' oil painting transports us back to 1850s West Riding landscapes – picturesque scenes that have stood the test of time. From ancient maps to modern-day artwork and political milestones – these glimpses into history paint a vivid picture of life in Yorkshire's West Riding over centuries gone by.
