This cartographic creation draws inspiration from a diverse array of references, ranging from historical documents and cartographic depictions to artistic renditions. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that this representation of Birmingham in 1730 is not an absolute replica. The map's creator, Bernard Sleigh, exercised creative freedom to craft a visually captivating and informative rendition.

Bernard Sleigh (1872-1954) was a British artist and illustrator known for his intricate and imaginative work, particularly in the realm of mapmaking and cartography. He gained recognition for his unique maps that blended artistry with cartographic accuracy. Sleigh's maps often featured detailed illustrations, historical references, and creative elements that made them both visually appealing and informative.

One of his notable works is the map of Birmingham mentioned in the previous response, which depicts the city's appearance in the early 18th century. Sleigh's maps were characterized by his artistic liberties and the incorporation of various sources to create captivating and historically evocative representations of different places and periods. His maps continue to be celebrated for their beauty and historical interest.
