About the Item
A well engraved and detailed large-scale map of Wales, printed on two sheets .
The map is thoroughly detailed and includes good information regarding the turnpike and mail roads as well as distances between market towns and also the canal network. Details shown include the canals, distances between market towns, "gentlemen's houses", and the sandbanks and hidden rocks in Cardigan Bay.
Original outline and wash colour defines the county's hundreds which are also listed in a numbered key.
The map first appeared in Smith's "New English Atlas Being A Complete Set of County Maps". Smith was a stationer and mapseller working in the Strand, London, from about 1800 onwards and continued the standard set by John Cary for precise, detailed maps, finely produced and without the embellishments of the previous century.
The maps from his county atlas set a new standard for their presentation and execution with the skilful fashion in which the wealth of cartographic detail has been compressed into the folio sheet. These maps justly met with great commercial success, being re-issued in atlas form and as folding maps into the 1860's.
With attractive colour the map has light, but negligible, centrefold discolouration.

Old Map of Glamorganshire by Lewis 1844 – Swansea Cardiff Merthyr Tydfil Neath
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Old Map of Glamorganshire by Samuel Lewis 1844 – Swansea Cardiff Merthyr Tydfil Neath
Description: This detailed map of Glamorganshire was published in 1844 for Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Wales. It showcases major towns such as Swansea, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath, and Bridgend. The map features original hand coloring that outlines the county borders and includes shaded topographical elements to show the landscape. A decorative compass rose and a reference to the seven unions add both style and historical context.
Condition:
The map is in good antique condition with minor age toning and clean margins. The engraving remains sharp and the original colors are clear and unfaded. No major damage or repairs are visible.
Framing suggestions:
Use a soft cream or ivory acid-free mat to match the natural tone of the paper. Choose a dark wood, antique gold, or black frame with a soft patina to enhance the historical feel. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the colors. This map is ideal for a home office, study, or as a thoughtful gift for those with Welsh heritage.
