The background of this artwork features an authentic public domain map titled "A New and Accurate Map of the County of Cornwall, from an Actual Survey", created by the English surveyor Thomas Martyn and published in 1748.

Unlike many earlier county maps that relied heavily on previous publications, Martyn's work was based on an actual survey of Cornwall, making it one of the most detailed and reliable maps of the county produced during the eighteenth century. It reflects the growing importance of accurate surveying during the Georgian period and provided travellers, landowners and officials with an invaluable reference.

The map is particularly impressive for its wealth of historical information. Alongside the detailed road network, towns, villages, rivers and parish boundaries, it features extensive heraldic panels, an inset map of the Isles of Scilly, decorative cartouches and information relating to Cornwall's historic administration and prominent families. Together these elements make it both a practical survey and an outstanding example of eighteenth-century British cartography.

Today, Thomas Martyn's survey maps are admired for their historical significance and exceptional detail. This artwork preserves that remarkable craftsmanship while pairing it with clean contemporary typography to create a unique tribute to Cornwall.

With its rugged cliffs, golden beaches, picturesque fishing villages and rich Celtic heritage, Cornwall has long been one of Britain's most treasured destinations.

Whether you're exploring St Ives, walking the South West Coast Path, visiting Land's End, discovering Tintagel Castle or relaxing beside turquoise coves, Cornwall offers a unique atmosphere that keeps visitors returning generation after generation.

The phrase "Cornwall Never a Bad Idea" perfectly sums up what so many people already know—there's never a wrong time to visit Cornwall.
