Original antique "Cruchley's Railway and Station Map of Yorkshire," published in 1869 by George Frederick Cruchley. This hand-coloured lithograph on linen showcases Yorkshire's 19th-century railway network, turnpike roads, and notable landmarks, including gentlemen's seats. Measuring 19.3 by 22 inches (49 by 56 cm), the map is framed and glazed at 21.5 by 24.2 inches (54.5 by 61.5 cm). The map displays signs of age, with some discolouration, spotting, and minor losses along the folds. The frame has tarnishing, ingrained dirt, and wear. A fascinating piece of Victorian cartographic history, highlighting the rapid expansion of rail transport in Britain.
