Note - due to the very small print
on the map, the Galway map works best in the larger size, at the smaller
(original) size, much of the text is tiny.

Published
in London by S. Lewis & Co. 87 Aldersgate Street, 27th of September 1837.
This map was made
in 1837, just 10 years before the disaster of the "Great Famine" in 1847. 1837
is a particularly significant time in Ireland's history at the period of the historically
highest population and immediately prior to the great exodus of Ireland's population
- in particular to the United States.

The maps on this
site are taken from
a very high resolution digital scans of the originals. They are available for
purchase for use in genealogy and as decorative prints for mounting and display.
The maps are clear and colours bright. There is some staining and antique discolouration as would
be expected of such old documents, this is faithfully reproduced and add to the
atmosphere of the reproduction prints.
The printed
detail is far greater than reproduced on this web site, as to produce
a more accurate scan would result in huge file sizes and excessive
download times.
Please
note maps are supplied as the print only and are UN-mounted and
UN-framed, the example to the right is shown for illustration only
with a single mounting board and dark oak frame. Dark green mounting
board is recommended as it suits the colours well and is authentic
of the period.
