This map features happy holidaymakers, figures from Welsh history stretching from Owain Glydnwr to David Lloyd George, and from a Roman legionary at Caerleon to a woman in Welsh national dress sweeping a French invader from Fishguard, a reference to the landing in 1798. The map is also populated with castles, railways, saints, scholars and other 'types' such as 'the coracle man'. Read more
