This antique map, titled "County Map of Warwickshire, 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 treasure from The Large English Atlas. The intricate details showcased in this map offer a glimpse into the past, revealing the boundaries and topography of Warwickshire during the late 18th century. From bustling cities like Birmingham and Coventry to charming towns such as Warwick, Nuneaton, Rugby, and Royal Leamington Spa, every corner of this diverse county is meticulously depicted. As we explore further into the map's rich tapestry, we discover other notable locations like Bedworth, Stratford-upon-Avon (or Stratford-on-Avon), Kenilworth Castle with its storied history dating back to medieval times, Atherstone with its ancient market square buzzing with activity since Roman times, Polesworth nestled along the banks of River Anker, Whitnash known for its beautiful countryside views and Kingsbury boasting an impressive water park. Warwickshire's heritage comes alive through these delicate lines etched onto paper; it tells tales of Alcester's Roman origins or Southam's medieval charm. Even smaller settlements like Coleshill or Edgbaston have their place on this historical canvas. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries within their esteemed collection (912 STF), this remarkable piece invites us
