A charming vintage map of the Isle of Wight and Hampshire, dating from 1909 — the Edwardian era, when the Isle of Wight was firmly established as a beloved holiday destination for the British middle classes.
This map captures the island and its mainland connections at a fascinating moment in history: the railways are fully established, the resorts of Ryde, Sandown, Shanklin, and Ventnor are in their heyday, and the map reflects the infrastructure of a bygone era.

- Date: 1909
- Era: Edwardian
- Type: Printed map
- Condition: Good vintage condition

A lovely piece for anyone with connections to the Isle of Wight or an interest in Edwardian Britain.
