EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical gem, the "Map of twenty miles around Sheffield" engraved specifically for the directory of 1852. With its impressive scale of 3 miles to 1 inch, this map offers an intricate and detailed representation of the region's landscape during that era. Measuring at a substantial size of 41 x 34 cm, it is truly a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship employed in its creation. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives' Local Studies collection (A11S), this remarkable piece provides us with a fascinating glimpse into the past. It allows us to explore and understand how Sheffield and its surrounding areas were structured over one and a half centuries ago. The map not only serves as an invaluable resource for historians but also captivates those with an interest in cartography or local geography. Its fine engravings depict various landmarks, roads, rivers, and settlements that once shaped this vibrant region. As we admire this print from Sheffield City Archives today, let us appreciate the dedication put forth by those who meticulously crafted such maps in earlier times. While we cannot overlook their commercial value back then – aiding businesses in navigating these lands – let us focus on appreciating it as an artifact representing our rich history rather than considering any potential commercial use it may have had.
