No attempt has yet been made to provide a comprehensive catalogue of images of the town given in prints, sketches, paintings and photographs. A useful but not wholly comprehensive list of topographic prints of Flint is given in the following article: D. Pratt, ‘The topographic prints of Flintshire’, Flintshire Historical Society Publications 22 (1965–66), 40–67. A number of other paintings, drawings and other images are noted in the text above. A comprehensive search has not been made of these or of photograph archives of the town, such as those held by Flintshire Archive Office in Hawarden.
