Old Map of Herefordshire by Samuel Lewis 1844 – Hereford Leominster Ross-on-Wye Kington Bromyard
This 1844 map of Herefordshire was drawn and engraved for Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of England. It features major towns including Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Kington, and Bromyard. The map shows roads, rivers, topographical features, and surrounding counties such as Shropshire, Gloucestershire, and Monmouthshire. Hand-colored borders outline the county and a decorative compass rose enhances its historical charm.
Condition:
The map is in good antique condition with light even toning and wide margins. The engraving is sharp and the hand coloring remains bright. There are no tears or significant blemishes.
Framing suggestions:
Use an ivory or soft beige acid-free mat to complement the aged paper. A dark wood, antique gold, or soft black frame will bring out the map's classic style. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve color and detail. A fine choice for traditional interiors, libraries, or heritage-themed décor.
