EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique map, titled "County Map of Berkshire, c. 1777" takes us on a journey back in time to the picturesque landscapes and historic towns of this English county. Crafted by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, this print is a true gem from "The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of maps of all the counties of England and Wales". As we gaze upon this beautifully detailed map, we are transported to the bustling streets of Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Wokingham, Newbury, Woodley, Windsor and many other charming towns that dot the Berkshire countryside. The intricate illustrations showcase not only the main cities but also smaller settlements like Thatcham, Sandhurst, Crowthorne, and Ascot. Every stroke on this piece tells a story; it encapsulates an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed winding roads through lush green fields and ancient woodlands. This historical document provides invaluable insight into how Berkshire's landscape has evolved over centuries. Preserved with care at Sheffield Libraries' archives collection (912 STF), this original print offers an opportunity for history enthusiasts to delve into the past. It serves as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship of its creators while providing researchers with valuable information about land boundaries and geographical features during that period. Let us cherish this exquisite work by Bowen and Kitchin as it allows us to appreciate both their artistry and our shared heritage.
