A richly detailed pictorial map of York, bringing together the streets, waterways, landmarks and historic buildings that give the city its unmistakable character.
Created by English artist John Pearson Sayer in 1948, The City of York is far more than a conventional street map. York Minster rises prominently above the city, while Clifford’s Tower, the medieval walls, gateways, bridges and the River Ouse are woven into an intricate illustrated portrait. Smaller buildings, figures, labels and decorative details reward a closer look.
The result is both informative and full of personality: a mid-century artist’s celebration of a city shaped by centuries of history. Its warm colours and abundant detail make it an absorbing piece of wall art as well as a meaningful gift for anyone who lives in York, studied there, visited the city or simply loves historic British places and pictorial maps.
