About the Item
Old Map of Merionethshire by Samuel Lewis 1844 – Barmouth Bala Harlech Dolgelley
Description: This finely engraved hand-colored map of Merionethshire was published in 1844 for Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Wales. It features key towns such as Barmouth, Bala, Harlech, Dolgelley, and Machynlleth, with clearly marked roads, rivers, and shaded topography showing the county’s mountainous landscape. County borders are highlighted in original color, and a decorative compass rose enhances the classic design. A reference to the county divisions or unions is included.
Condition:
The map is in very good antique condition, with minor age toning and clean, wide margins. The engraving is sharp and the hand coloring is vivid and intact. There are no tears, stains, or significant damage, making it a well-preserved example of mid-19th century Welsh cartography.
Framing suggestions:
Use an ivory or light tan acid-free mat to match the aged paper tone. A dark wood frame, antique gold, or soft black finish will complement the historical feel of the piece. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the color and prevent fading. Ideal for study walls, offices, or as a gift for anyone with Welsh roots or an interest in historical maps.
