Description

Richard Blome’s 1673 map of Chester is a classic Restoration-era engraving, characterized by its bold, decorative style. The title is housed in a scrolled strapwork cartouche, while a secondary heraldic shield displays the coat of arms of patron Thomas Cholmondeley. The landscape is depicted using pictorial symbols for "molehill" hills and clustered buildings for towns. Later hand colouring typically defines the ancient Hundreds in pastel washes and highlights gentry estates in green. Printed on laid paper, this map beautifully blends 17th-century geography with aristocratic prestige.
