EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique map, titled "County Map of Northamptonshire, c. 1777" is a captivating piece that offers a glimpse into the past. Created by renowned cartographers Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, this print showcases their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy. The map depicts the county of Northamptonshire in all its glory, with its charming towns and villages beautifully illustrated. From the bustling city of Northampton to the industrial hubs of Corby and Kettering, every significant location is marked with precision. Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry, Brackley - they all find their place on this historical document. As you explore this map further, you'll discover lesser-known gems like Desborough, Towcester, Raunds, Irthlingborough, Higham Ferrers, and Rothwell - each contributing to the rich tapestry that makes up Northamptonshire's history. Printed in London by T. Bowles around 1777 as part of "The Large English Atlas" this artifact has stood the test of time. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries' archives today (call number: 912 STF), it serves as a testament to both its creators' expertise and our enduring fascination with maps. Whether you're an avid historian or simply appreciate vintage aesthetics, this County Map of Northamptonshire will transport you back centuries ago when horse-drawn carriages roamed these lands.
