EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique map, titled "County Map of Cornwall, c. 1777" is a fascinating glimpse into the past. Created by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, this print showcases the intricate details of Cornwall's geography during the late 18th century. The map highlights various towns and landmarks that were significant to Cornwall's history. From bustling ports like Falmouth and Penzance to inland settlements such as Truro and Bodmin, each location is carefully labeled with ornate typography. Cornwall's rugged coastline is beautifully depicted, with its jagged cliffs and picturesque bays captured in exquisite detail. The map also includes notable features like St Ives Bay, Land's End, and Looe Island - all contributing to the county's unique charm. As you explore this historical document further, you'll notice smaller villages nestled among rolling hillsides dotted with farms. Saltash Bridge elegantly spans across the River Tamar connecting Cornwall to Devonshire. This particular print originates from "The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of maps of all the counties of England and Wales". It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Bowen, Kitchin, and their contemporaries who meticulously surveyed these lands. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives for centuries now resides an invaluable piece of Cornish heritage. This map allows us to trace our roots back in time while appreciating how much has changed since then.
