In 1695 John Seller published a county atlas titled Anglia Contracta. The plates were much later acquired by Francis Grose, revised, and used in a supplement to his partwork on British antiquities. This supplement with maps was first published in 1787, and ran to several later editions. Original colour, with descriptive text below and to verso.

Glamorganshire - Llandaff Cathedral. The Antiquities of England and Wales was the product of Alexander Hogg who was well known as a partwork publisher. Under the claimed authorship of Henry Boswell it was issued serially from c1787-9, and subsequently made available as a complete work. The format was typically 2 (though sometimes up to 6) prints to a page, with one or two accompanying pages of descriptive text on each pair of subjects. It also included the set of English county maps by Thomas Kitchin first used in the London Magazine from 1747-54. Llandaff is now a suburb of modern Cardiff, but was an early Christian site from the 6th century AD. The current cathedral dates from around 1107 when it was founded by Urban, the first Norman Bishop, although not completed until 1290. Storm damage and time did great damage to the fabric. The south-west tower collapsed in 1722 and in 1734 work began on a plan to construct a new cathedral within the structure of the partially ruined old one. This scheme was never completed, however, and in the 19th century, money was found to restore the old cathedral to its current glory. This print, engraved by Thornton, is supplied with the original, accompanying text.
