Title: Antique Map of Southern England and Wales, 1903, with Coastal Details and Railways
Description:
This detailed antique map, titled "England and Wales (Southern Sheet I)," was engraved and published in 1903 by W.
A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a fascinating and intricate depiction of the southern part of England and Wales, showcasing counties, cities, towns, and natural features with exceptional clarity and artistry.
The map features the vibrant regions of Southern England, including Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and the bustling metropolis of London. It also extends to Wales, highlighting the rugged coastline along the Bristol Channel and the scenic beauty of the English Channel. The fine engraving and subtle pastel coloring—using shades of green, pink, and yellow—create a refined and harmonious composition that brings this historical period to life.
One of the map’s highlights is its inclusion of the Scilly Islands in a dedicated inset, emphasizing their geographical and navigational importance. Extensive railway lines are meticulously marked, a testament to the region’s burgeoning industrial development and the vital role of rail transport in connecting towns and fostering economic growth during this transformative period.
For collectors and history enthusiasts, this map is not only a decorative statement but also a window into the geography and infrastructure of the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 20th century. It reflects an era of rapid modernization and urban expansion while preserving the rich character of the British landscape.
