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.
