EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a County Map of Herefordshire, dating back to approximately 1777. A true piece of history, it originates from "The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of maps of all the counties of England and Wales" meticulously crafted by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Kitchin, and others. London-based publisher T. Bowles printed and sold this remarkable map during that era. The map itself provides an intricate depiction of Herefordshire's landscape in the late 18th century. It encompasses notable towns such as Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard, and Kington – each marked with precision on the antique parchment. As one gazes upon this relic from Sheffield Libraries' collection (cataloged under reference number 912 STF), they are transported back in time to an era when these settlements were bustling centers within the county. With its delicate details and expert craftsmanship by Bowen and Kitchin – two esteemed figures in cartography – this historic artifact stands as a testament to their dedication in accurately representing geographical features using the best available sources at that time
