This print showcases a historic treasure, the "Map of the North Riding of Yorkshire" by Robert Morden, dating back to the 1690s. The intricate details and expert craftsmanship on this map are truly remarkable. Spanning across its surface, one can trace the prominent towns and landmarks that shaped this region's rich history. From the majestic city of York with its medieval walls and iconic Minster, to New Malton's charming streets lined with quaint cottages. Thirsk, Ripon, Masham - each town holds stories waiting to be discovered. The map also highlights the breathtaking beauty of Yorkshire Dales and Swaledale; their rolling hills and picturesque landscapes have inspired countless artists throughout centuries. Further north lies Barnard Castle, guarding over River Tees as it meanders through Darlington towards Helmsley's ancient ruins. Venturing eastward unveils Whitby's enchanting coastal charm where tales of Dracula intertwine with seafaring traditions. Nearby Middlesbrough stands proud as an industrial hub while Cleveland offers stunning views along its coastline. Lastly, Pickering beckons visitors with its historical significance and scenic surroundings that seem straight out of a storybook.
