Wiltshire'. A richly decorative illustrated map of Wiltshire, published shortly after the Second World War to commemorate the county’s agricultural, military, and cultural contribution to the war effort. The map records patterns of wartime food production—including dairying, market gardening, sheep farming, and watercress—alongside military installations and battle training areas on Salisbury Plain. Text panels reference the wartime expansion of British farming, the work of the Women’s Institutes, and Wiltshire’s role in sustaining both civilian and military populations. Inset views depict notable landmarks including Wilton House, noted for its use as Headquarters of Southern Command and Southern Base, U.S. Army. Portraits and accompanying texts recall local figures such as Jethro Tull and Christopher Wren. Heraldic devices, regimental insignia, and civic arms enrich the design. A quotation from Winston Churchill, emphasising food production and national endurance, reinforces the map’s patriotic tone, making it both a decorative work and a vivid record of Wiltshire’s wartime identity. .
