From the estate of a British gentleman living in Rye, NY, this linen work is a map of Yorkshire, England, "The County of Broadacres 6077 sq. miles, 3,890,000 acres". The 3 areas of West Riding, North Riding, and East Riding (inventive, isn't it...) comprise Yorkshire, and woven into the work is a helpful note that Riding is "derived from the Scandinavian Thrithing or Thriding- A Third Part." in addition to the map, there are colorful depictions of the seal of the city of York, Fountains Abbey, Mother Shipton's Inn, Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, Templenewsam House, and York Minster. Along the North Sea, it marks the spot where "Captain Cook Set Out From Whitby". It measures approximately 29.0" x 20.5" and is in excellent condition.
