Fascinating Historic YORK Map, 1947 by Estra Clark

This print has it all. Created by York's own pictorial cartographer artist Estra Clark this piece depicts the people, buildings and events of this truly historic city from Roman times, through the Viking invasion, visitation of Henry VIII, the siege of the Civil War, not to mention the birth place of Guido Fawkes and the burial place of Dick Turpin. Retrace your steps through the famous Medieval Shambles and the curiously named Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate or imagine traversing the River Ouse on a Viking long boat! Estra captures it all in her uniquely charming style. It is far more than just a map; it is a living, breathing history.

This piece has been digitally cleaned in order to remove blemishes and most signs of ageing but keeps the look, feel and integrity of the original.

A classic work that creates a centrepiece for any home and would look stunning framed (as in the illustration above). This print is produced on premium heavyweight 230 gsm paper and uses the finest quality inks that will not fade or smudge.

This is a highly sought after work.
