A Map of Yorkshire by Estra Clark. Published by Leak and Thorp, York 1949. On good quality paper size 57 by 44 cm. Scale 5 miles to the inch. Colour. Clark focuses on the social and industrial history of the county. The coats of arms of the three Ridings appear in three of the four corners and there are vignettes of the West Riding that depict its industries and of the North and East Ridings that include representations of farming and fishing. The cities and major towns are shown with their coats of arms and with a stylised image of their major trades and industries. Estra Clark was a Yorkshire-born teacher and artist who specialised in creating maps that were amusing and informative, capturing the optimism of the post war period The map appears to be a smaller version of a larger poster map of Yorkshire that Clark drew for British Railways in the same year.
