UK County Flags - Limited Edition Giclée Print, variety of sizes and colours

Description: *NEW EDITION* You'll see from listings that I love maps. I love creating them using artefacts which represent a country or region and creating patterns from these, which I see as creating a fabric, which helps me both to understand more about an area's identity and to visualise regions more clearly. I created this map of UK historic county flags myself, using digital technology, and it's available in standard A sizes as a gicle print, printed on high quality Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper, unframed. My prints are printed expertly and delivered to you by various partners. In the UK and for Europe customers, this is The Print Space, London. For US and Australia orders, I work with local fine art printers to print and deliver my items to order. US orders can take a little longer to be delivered to you - up to 8 working days. I also have an Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TindariDesign. Please take a look at the reviews for this print from happy customers, as I build my ebay site. Some further information about the map and UK county flags: The map details the historic county flags of the England, Wales and Scotland. See below for detail about Irish flags represented here. There are 92 counties in the United Kingdom: 6 are Northern Irish, 13 are Welsh, 39 are English and 34 are Scottish. Many of these counties have existed for the best part of a thousand years. It is often assumed that a council represents a county, but this is not the case. In England, Wales and Scotland, in the late nineteenth century, local administrations (the county councils), were set up for each county. With population changes over the following century the government redefined local administrations so that they were no longer based on the real counties. However, changing administrative arrangements did not abolish the 'real' (ceremonial) counties which have never gone away. As for Northern Irish county flags, In 1921 votes were held county by county in Ulster to determine whether the county would stay in the United Kingdom or go with the new "Irish Free State." Six of the counties voted to stay in the United Kingdom and became Northern Ireland, but three went with those in "Southern Ireland." Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan are the three Ulster counties which stayed within the Free State. The six traditional counties which became Northern Ireland were Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone. These six historic counties in Northern Ireland are no longer in use for administrative purposes and have no have official flags registered on the Flag Institutes Registry. The Irish use two-colour athletic team flags for their visual county identity. There are no official governmental county flags.
