About the Item
Title: Antique Map of England and Wales, 1903, with Detailed Counties and Railways
Description:
This beautifully detailed antique map, titled "England and Wales," was engraved and published in 1903 by the esteemed cartographic firm W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a comprehensive and precise depiction of England and Wales at the turn of the 20th century, capturing the dynamic infrastructure and geography of the era.
The map intricately delineates county boundaries with delicate coloring in pastel hues of pink, green, and yellow, each carefully engraved to create a visually striking and harmonious composition. Major cities, towns, and an extensive network of railways are all clearly marked, reflecting the rapid industrial expansion and urban growth that characterized this period. The fine detail also highlights the natural geography of the region, from mountain ranges and rivers to coastal features and offshore islands.
This map is not just a piece of historical documentation—it is a glimpse into a time when the United Kingdom was at the peak of its industrial might and global influence. Railways, noted with precision, underscore the transformation of the landscape and the vital role of transportation in connecting communities and fostering economic growth.
For collectors, this map is a testament to the artistry and accuracy of Johnston’s cartography, combining technical excellence with an aesthetic that remains timeless. It’s an ideal centerpiece for anyone interested in British history, geography, or antique maps.
Condition report:
The map is in very good antique condition, with only minor age-related foxing and slight edge toning that do not detract from its clarity and charm. The colors remain vivid and the paper is well-preserved. Folding line as issued.
Framing tips:
A classic wooden frame in rich mahogany or walnut will add warmth and sophistication to this antique map. Use a light cream or off-white matting to enhance the fine details and bring out the soft pastel colors, creating a refined and elegant presentation for any setting.
