Notes

North Wales is here depicted as an old woman in traditional Welsh dress with a heavy sack on her back. Below the map is a table of the northern Welsh counties together with the principal cities, towns and villages.

Joseph Josiah Dodd (1809-1894) was a topographical artist and engraver, who worked in Carnarvon from 1851.
