This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Comitatvs Brechiniae’, which translates to ‘County of Brecknock’. The United Kingdom in the early 17th century was a vastly different place than it is today. The country was divided into smaller regions, many of which had their own unique customs and cultures. The map shows the central region of Brecknock, which was known for its rolling hills and fertile valleys. The towns of Brecon, Merthyr Cynog, and Talachddu are located in the centre of the map, surrounded by smaller villages and hamlets. The map provides a glimpse into life in this part of the country over 350 years ago.

Giclée Print Feedback:

Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!

Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
