EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history: "A Mapp (sic) of Yorkshire with its divisions and hundreds" by Richard Blome, dating back to 1670. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this map are truly awe-inspiring. Measuring at 28 x 20 cm, it offers a glimpse into the past when cartography was both an art form and a scientific endeavor. The map's scale is particularly fascinating, with every inch representing an impressive ten miles. This level of precision highlights the dedication and expertise that went into creating such comprehensive geographical records during this era. It allows us to appreciate how much effort was invested in accurately capturing the vast expanse of Yorkshire's landscape. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives' Local Studies collection, this print serves as a window into our region's rich heritage. It provides valuable insights into the historical divisions and hundreds that once shaped Yorkshire's administrative structure.

Scholars can delve deep into its intricacies to uncover forgotten stories about land ownership, boundaries, or even population distribution from centuries ago. As we explore this print from Sheffield City Archives' collection, let us marvel at the ingenuity behind Richard Blome's work while acknowledging the importance of preserving these invaluable pieces for future generations to cherish and learn from.
