The background of this artwork features an authentic public domain map titled "DVCATVS EBORACENSIS Anglice YORKSHIRE", created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu. The original map was first engraved around 1645 and later published in the magnificent Atlas Van der Hagen, one of the most beautifully coloured atlases of the Dutch Golden Age.

Willem Blaeu (1571–1638) is regarded as one of history's greatest cartographers and map publishers. His maps became famous throughout Europe for their exceptional accuracy, artistic engraving and remarkable decorative colouring. The Blaeu family atlases represented the very highest standard of seventeenth-century mapmaking and remain some of the most sought-after historic maps ever produced.

This remarkable map of Yorkshire showcases the county in exceptional detail, illustrating hundreds of towns, villages, rivers, forests and historic administrative divisions. Rich decorative features include elaborate heraldry, hand-coloured borders, coats of arms and an ornate title cartouche celebrating the Duchy of York. These decorative flourishes transformed the map into both an important geographical document and a masterpiece of seventeenth-century engraving.

Today, Blaeu's county maps are admired by collectors, historians and art lovers around the world. This artwork preserves that extraordinary craftsmanship while combining it with bold modern typography to create a unique tribute to Yorkshire.

Affectionately known as "God's Own Country," Yorkshire is England's largest historic county and one of Britain's most distinctive regions. From the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors to the historic city of York and the vibrant cities of Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford and Hull, Yorkshire has shaped Britain's history, industry and culture for centuries.

Famous for its breathtaking scenery, warm humour and fierce county pride, Yorkshire continues to inspire generations of people who proudly call it home.

The phrase "Yorkshire God's Own Country" perfectly reflects the affection and pride so many people have for this remarkable county.
