EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique map, titled "County Map of Glamorganshire, Wales, c. 1777" is a fascinating glimpse into the past. Created by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, it showcases the intricate details of Glamorgan County during the late 18th century. The map captures the essence of this historic region with its vibrant cities and picturesque landscapes. From bustling Cardiff to charming Swansea, every town and village is meticulously depicted, giving us a sense of what life was like in this part of Wales over two centuries ago. As we explore the map further, we discover notable landmarks such as Aberavon's sandy shores and Aberdare's lush valleys. The industrial heritage comes alive through symbols representing Aberdulais' ironworks and Merthyr Tydfil's coal mines. Each symbol tells a story of growth and progress that shaped these communities. With its elegant typography and delicate illustrations, this print from "The Large English Atlas" transports us back to an era when maps were not just navigational tools but works of art themselves. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such detailed representations before modern technology took over. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries since its creation in 1777, this historical gem offers a unique window into Glamorganshire's rich history for all who appreciate both cartography and Welsh heritage alike.
