EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a County Map of Essex, dating back to approximately 1777. Extracted from "The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of map of all the counties of England and Wales" this antique map is an invaluable piece of historical cartography. Crafted by eminent cartographers Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Kitchin, and others, it offers a comprehensive depiction of Essex's geographical features during that era. With intricate details and precision, the map highlights prominent towns such as Southend-on-Sea, Colchester, Chelmsford, Basildon, Rayleigh, and South Benfleet. It also encompasses lesser-known areas like Thunderley, Harlow, Grays, Brentwood Clacton-on-Sea. The inclusion of smaller locales such as Braintree, Canvey Island, Billericay, Wickford, Loughton, Stanford-le-Hope, Witham, Maldon, Harwich adds depth to its representation. From Waltham Abbey to Rochford and Saffron Walden to Tilbury—each place finds its rightful spot on this historic document. Notably absent are any references to commercial use or the company associated with it. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries within their esteemed collection (912 STF), this remarkable print allows us to trace our roots back in time while marveling at the meticulous craftsmanship employed by these gifted cartographers. Whether you have ancestral ties or simply appreciate historical maps' allure—the County Map of Essex
