EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "County Map of Wiltshire" from around 1777. This antique map, part of The Large English Atlas, offers a glimpse into the past with its intricate details and expert craftsmanship. Created by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, this map is an invaluable resource for understanding the geography and landscape of Wiltshire during that era. The map encompasses various towns and cities within Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Melksham, Devizes, Warminster, Calne, Westbury, Corsham, Wootton Bassett Amesbury, Tidworth Bradford on Avon, and Malmesbury. Each location is meticulously labeled to provide geographical context to viewers. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries in their original form since its creation over two centuries ago (912 STF), this print allows us to appreciate the artistry involved in mapping before modern technology revolutionized cartography. It serves as a testament to the dedication and skill of these talented cartographers who contributed to our understanding of England's counties. As we explore this historic document further through visual examination or academic research purposes only (not commercial use), let us marvel at how it transports us back in time while providing valuable insights into the past landscapes and settlements that shaped present-day Wiltshire.
