‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. Glamorgan Shyre With the situations of the cheife towne Cardyff and ancient Landaffe described.‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge This stunningly detailed uncolored edition of Glamorgen Shyre; taken from John Speed's world famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. These 17th century plates were engraved in Amsterdam by the great Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius and exhibit the highest level of craftsmanship and artistic embellishment. Although an initially rural and pastoral county Glamorgen soon became defined as a land highly concentrated with castles and abbeys - demonstrated by example of Landaffe and Cardyfe in this map. The historic county stretches its borders with Carmardenshire Breknokshire and Mounmethshire. The bottom portion of the map represents the Bristol Channel. A striking title hangs gallantly over the map but there are certain details to this map which make it especially shine over other counties. Elegant cartouches with young seraphim hold the cardinal direction of West and East; while the royal coats of arms are presented in the Bristol Channel by a young nymph riding a sea creature. These curious details set this map apart. The town plans of Cardyfe and Landaffe are inset nearly symmetrically on opposing corners of the map. They both house the appropriate coat of arms and compass roses. Cardyfe is marked with more details such as the significant roads and buildings. A key corresponds to the letters. Landaffe a nobler city is illustrated with its castle walls and township. In the case of this map the town plan of Cardyfe was also mapped out by John Speed himself as indicated by his 'Scale of Pases'. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped. While being the first English atlas of the British Isles Speed's Atlas was also one of the first attempts to accurately survey Ireland and to incorporate a comprehensive list of their town plans into the maps. The 1676 edition of Speed's atlas never came with original color. The examples of this map of Glamorgen should always be uncolored and never colored. Born in Cheshire John Speed developed his interest in maps in the 1580s after moving to London to pursue his passions outside of tailoring. He there joined the Society of Antiquaries where his enthusiasm for cartography won him the attention of William Camden Robert Cotton and Sir Fulke Greville. By working with these figures Speed was able to do a large amount of research for his own work. In 1596 Greville bequeathed Speed with an unlimited allowance to research and then later write the Historie of Great Britaine. It was during this project which Speed had the encouragement to add a cartographic supplement to the work - what we today know as his most famous atlas. After being first published in 1611-1612 the 'Theatre of Great Britain' dominated the seventeenth-century English map market going through many reprints and editions. Thanks to the Atlas' success Speed earned the title of England's most well-known Stuart period cartographer and his work became the blueprint for folio atlases until the mid-18th century. Historically Speed is also noted for placing England into the mainstream of map publishing which had been dominated by the Dutch since the late sixteenth century. This map of Glamorgen is an excellent part of the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine and would be an outstanding addition to all map collections.

This stunning uncolored map of Stafford is a part of John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. Leicester both Countye and Citie described The Honorable Famylies that have had the titles of Earls there of. With other accidents therein observed.‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge �" tear in centerfold. A highly desirable uncolored map of Leicestershire. This county is of the more found in John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "This Countye of Leicester is and hath bene a most famous Earldome �" Engraved by Jodocus Hondius in his workshop in Amsterdam this map is a prime example of the level of craft and detail found in the Atlas. The title cartouche presents the map to the viewer alongside the ever present royal arms of King Charles II. The town plan of Leicaster fills the lower left side of the map. A letter guide allows us to match the most significant areas of the plan such as roads building and rivers. The city is busy with fortresses cathedrals castles and town squares - a true noble city indeed. The map is edged with a selection of Leicester's most famous and noble Earls and Dukes; most notably including Robert Dudley 1st Earl of Leicester the well-known close friend of Queen Elizabeth I; and Simon de Monfort 6th Earl of Leicaster who rebelled against King Henry III and became de facto ruler of England in 1264. The county map of Leicaster is particularly attractive for its vignette depicting the Battle of Bosworth the last battle during the War of the Roses in the 15th century. The image engraved by Hondius shows a fleeting moment of the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography.

Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting A stunning county map of Merionethshire; part of the renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. The copper plates were engraved by Jocodus Hondius in 1610 Amsterdam. The maps from this Atlas are highly sought after due to their intricate accuracy detailing and embellishments; with this county map being a prime example of these claims. Hondius engraved this map with plays on symmetry from the cartouches and framed coat of arms of Wales and King Charles II. The dividers and compass rose are elegant details alongside the winged cherubim flanking both ends of the frame. An inset of Harlech Castle is framed. This impressive castle is a medieval fortification constructed atop a spur of rock close to the Irish Sea built by Edward I during his invasion of Wales between 1282 and 1289. Over the next few centuries the castle played an important part in several wars � most notably during the English Civil War where it became the last fortification to surrender to the Parliamentary armies in 1647.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "The Counti of Warwick The Shire Towne and Citie of Coventre described"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting ink wear An excellent uncolored map of Warwickshire; taken from the renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by John Speed. The copper plates used for this Atlas were engraved in 1610 by talented Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius. These uncolored county maps are highly sought after for their stunning level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. They are considered the best maps available of its kind on the market. The map shows Warwickshire as a seemingly flat land filled with trees and gated parks for hunting. The county borders Staffordshire Worchestershire Gloucestershire Oxfordshire Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. Hondius took careful effort to fill all parts of the map leaving no blank spaces and embellishing it with pure elegance. The map's right side presents a fretwork frame showcasing the coat of arms belonging to the ruling Dukes and Earls of Warwishshire over the centuries. Warwickshire first came into being as a part of the Kingdom of Merica as early as the 11th century. The first reference was made in 1001. During the major part of the Middle Ages Warwickshire was core dominated by Coventry town plan inset one of the most important cities in England thanks to its textile trade. The county played may important roles over the centuries; however it is probably most well-known for being the birthplace of playwright William Shakespeare. This map holds two town plan insets. Warwick is considered the main county town of the Shire and has been in habitation since the 6th century. The highlight of the plan is certainly the Warwick Castle built in 1068 as part of the Norman conquest of England. The remaining significant buildings and roads are marked with a letter; with a key provided. This plan was mapped by John Sped himself as indicated by the signature 'Scale of Pases'. The plan of Coventry shows a large bustling town full of buildings and squares. The town hails its importance in English history for being the heart of the textile trade during the Middle Ages. It is also rumored that Shakespeare as a young man frequented the playhouses within Coventry; which may have influenced how his plays were shaped in later years. The remaining significant buildings and roads are marked with a letter; with a key provided. An eye-catching detail added to a select few of Speed's county maps are his vignettes depicting English battle scenes. Depicted here is a moment from the main part of the King Edward IV's army was defeated at the Battle of Edgecote Moor in 1469 and Edward was subsequently captured at Olney by Richard Earl of Warwick. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped. While being the first English atlas of the British Isles Speed's Atlas was also one of the first attempts to accurately survey Ireland and to incorporate a comprehensive list of their town plans into the maps. The 1676 edition of Speed's atlas never came with original color. The examples of this map of Warwickshire should always be uncolored and never colored. Born in Cheshire John Speed developed his interest in maps in the 1580s after moving to London to pursue his passions outside of tailoring. He there joined the Society of Antiquaries where his enthusiasm for cartography won him the attention of William Camden Robert Cotton and Sir Fulke Greville.

The historic county is bounded to the north by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire to the east by Herefordshire to the south by Brecknockshire and to the west by Cardiganshire.Hondius� engraving takes careful care in depicting the hilly landscape of the county filled with flowing rivers bright blue lakes and fenced parks. The map exhibits several coat of arms relating to the Shire. The grandest being the royal arms of King Charles II beautifully embellished and framed. The arms of Wales are represented below with the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales centered. The town plan of Radnor is inset at the left corner. Though the town itself of smaller size it�s shield Castle and Abbey appear to tower over the homes engraved below. It is worth noting that this plan was mapped out by John Speed himself as indicated by this signature �Scale of Pases�. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed�s town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped. While being the first English atlas of the British Isles Speed�s Atlas was also one of the first attempts to accurately survey Ireland and to incorporate a comprehensive list of their town plans into the maps. The 1676 edition of Speed's atlas never came with original color. The examples of this map of Radnorshire should always be uncolored and never colored. Born in Cheshire John Speed developed his interest in maps in the 1580s after moving to London to pursue his passions outside of tailoring. He there joined the Society of Antiquaries where his enthusiasm for cartography won him the attention of William Camden Robert Cotton and Sir Fulke Greville. By working with these figures Speed was able to do a large amount of research for his own work. In 1596 Greville bequeathed Speed with an unlimited allowance to research and then later write the Historie of Great Britaine. It was during this project which Speed had the encouragement to add a cartographic supplement to the work � what we today know as his most famous atlas. After being first published in 1611-1612 the 'Theatre of Great Britain' dominated the seventeenth-century English map market going through many reprints and editions. Thanks to the Atlas� success Speed earned the title of England�s most well-known Stuart period cartographer and his work became the blueprint for folio atlases until the mid-18th century. Historically Speed is also noted for placing England into the mainstream of map publishing which had been dominated by the Dutch since the late sixteenth century. This map of Radnorshire is an excellent part of the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine and would be an outstanding addition to all map collections.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Suffolke described and divided into Hundreds The situation of the fayre towne Ipswich shewed with the armes of the most noble families that have bene either Dukes or Earles both of that Countie as also of Clare"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge ink smear margin top left corner torn A handsome uncolored county map of Suffolk; taken from the famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. The plates were engraved by Jodocus Honius in 1610 in Amsterdam. This map of Suffolk is the best available of the county; and Speed's maps are highly sought after due to their high level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. Suffolk is an East Anglican county of great historic origin in England. It has borders with Norfolk Cambridgeshire and Essex. The North Sea lies to its east. The county is depicted as low-lying - with few hills and largely flat arable land. The significance of this county is reflected in the admirable decorations on the map; such as the cartouches sailing ship figures and a compass rose held by cherubim. The inset town plan of Ipswich is elegantly bordered and flanked by the images of the Roman general Petillius Cerealis on the left and the Queen of the Iceni Boadicea on the right. Ipswich has been known to be an occupied land since the Saxon period; and its port has been one of Britain's most important for the whole of its history. The plan is annotated with letters to describe the significant roads and buildings of the town; guided by a legend. This intricate plan was mapped by John Speed himself as indicated by his signature 'Scale of Pases'. The left and right sides of the map are dictated to the coat of arms. The right bares the arms of the Dukes and Earles of Suffolk . Notable arms include those of Henry Grey 1st Duke of Suffolk 1551 and father to Lady Jane Grey; and Charles Brandon 1st Duke of Suffolk 1514 and brother-in-law to Henry VIII. The left side portrays the Dukes and Earls of Clare. Notable arms include those of Thomas Lancaster 1st Duke of Clarence 1412 and second son of King Henry IV. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629.‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Cardigan Shyre Described with the due forme of the Shiretown as it was surveryed by I.S. Anno 160"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing 5.� tear left page offsetting An elegant uncolored 1676 edition map of Cardiganshire; taken from the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. Engraved by Jodocus Hondius in 1610 in Amsterdam this county map is the most highly sought after county maps as they are famous for their accuracy level of detail and craftsmanship. Cardiganshire is one of the thirteen original counties of Wales and it is also one of the more significant ones. This land itself dates back to prehistoric times; with several standing stones dating back to the Bronze Age. In the time of the 15-16th century many pilgrims passed through Cardiganshire on their way to St Davids and its sacred bathes. Some came by sea and made use of the churches while others came by land seeking hospitality at such places as Strata Florida Abbey. Both the abbey and Llanbadarn Fawr were important monastic sites of scholarship and education. Hondius� choice in the engraving of this map does not limit itself to simple detail. Every space on the map is filled with hills sea monsters ship or elegant cartouches holding the title compass or �Scale of Miles�. There is also a level of symmetry found in this map; creating a delight for the eyes. A particularly attractive detail to this map is the cunning use of the compass rose to hold the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales. Included in this map is also the shield of Thomas Brudenell 1st Earl of Cardigan 1661; it was not typically not printed in earlier editions. The town inset of Cardigan shown on this map does a good job in representing the significant places the town is known for. The plan is embellished with its coat of arms a elegantly simply compass rose and gorgeous landscape surrounding the town. It is noteworthy that these plans were mapped by John Speed himself; indicated by his signature �Scale of Pases�. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed�s town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Worcestershire described"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting light ink rubbing An elegant map of the county Worcestershire; taken from John Speed's famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. The plates used to make this Atlas were engraved by Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius at his Amsterdam workshop in 1610. These uncolored maps are highly sought after for their level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. This map of Worcestershire is one of the best county maps available of its kind. Bordering with several other counties such as Herefordshire Shropshire Staffordshire Warwickshire and Oxforshire; the landscape is showcased as being rich with trees hills and parks. Worcestershire was once the heartland of an early English kingdom before becoming a part of the unified Kingdom of England in 927. This county is known for being heavily supported by the Church; dominated by the Cathderal Evesham Abbey Pershore Abbey and other religious institutions surrounding the area. The town plan is inset in the upper right corner of the map included are the coat of arms and an elegant compass rose. Worcester began as a Roman settlement fortified by the Britons around 400 BC. It did not get its proper name until the late 7th century when a version of the Old English name 'Weorgoran ceaster' was adapted. It is considered a Cathedral city and county town of Worcestershire. The River Severn flanked the town's western edge which is overlooked by the stunning 12th century Worcester Cathedral. The plan's pastoral background lends an all-around idea of life within the Town. It is noteworthy to mention that this plan was mapped out by John Speed himself as indicated by the dividers and 'Scale of Pases'. An especially desirable aspect of Speed's county maps is his addition of illustrative vignettes depicting important English battles and events. Here we see the Battle of Evesham. This was one of the two main battles of 13th century England's Second Barons' War. It marked the defeat of Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester and the rebellious barons by Prince Edward - later King Edward I - who led the forces of his father King Henry III. It took place on 4 August 1265 near the town of Evesham Worcestershire. The map is further decorated with elaborate cartouches separately containing the title of the county name of Jodocus Hondius and an elegant compass rose. A side panel provides the coat of arms of the ruling Earls and Dukes of Worcestershire. Notably including Waleren de Beaumont 1st Earl of Worchester 1104; and Thomas Percy 1st Earl of Worcester 1397. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Bedford Shire and the Situation of Bedford described with the armes of thos Honorable Familyes that have borne ye titles of Dukes and Earls therof".‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge good margins An elegant uncolored 1676 edition county map of Bedford Shire; taken from the highly acclaimed Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. Engraved by Jodocus Hondius these maps are lauded for their high level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. This is considered one of the finest maps depicting Bedfordshire available today. A decorative cartouche bearing the King's coat of arms and the title cherubim dividers - we already have a taste of the elaborate features. The county is bordered by Cambridgeshire Northamptonshire Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire The town plan of Bedforde is inset by the right hand corner held by a Roman general. The map is decorated by a small title cartouche-like coat of arms and a simple compass rose. The town is most well-known for St. Paul's Church engraved central on the map. The town's other significant roads and buildings are marked by a letter and guide for facilitated reference. It is noteworthy to mention this plan was mapped by John Speed himself as indicated by his signature scale of 'Pases'. The map is further embellished with the shields of several Earls and Dukes. Notable individuals include: John Plantaginet Lancaster 1st Duke of Bedford 14140 and brother of King Henry V; Ingelram Coucy 1st Earl of Bedford 1366 and son-in-law to King Edward III; and John Russell 1st Earl of Bedford 1550. Small framed text tells the 1399 event of the River Ouse flooding and straying its course. As a result it divided the towns and county. This was deemed a foreshadowing of the War of the Roses which occurred a short while afterwards. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Northampton Shire".‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting A handsome map of Northamptonshire with town plan insets of Northampton and Peterborow. Taken from John Speed's famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. The cooper plates to print these maps were engraved by Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius in 1610. These county maps are the finest of their kind and the most sought after of Speed's maps. Northamptonshire is beautifully mapped out depicting a relatively flat land with some hills sprinkled about. Hondius does an excellent work in filling all part of the space; with title cartouches strapwork frames holding the King's coat of arms; frames and elegant cartographer's tools. The county borders with those of Lecestershire Warwickshire Buckinghamshire Oxford Bedfordshire and Huntington. Northamptonshire has a rich history dating back to early human occupation during Paleolithic time and so on. There are two town insets. Northampton left is the main county town of Northamptonshire in the East Midlands of England. It rose to national significance with the building of Northampton Castle - the royal residence and frequent host to the Parliament of England. Peterborow Peterborough; right was historically part of Northamptonshire however for ceremonial purposes it now falls within the county borders of Cambridgeshire. The highlight of this town is its early English Gothic cathedral dedicated to St. Peter; presented in the center. The remaining significant roads and building on both town plans are marked with a letter guided by a key. John Speed also mapped both of these towns himself as indicated by his signature 'Scale of Pases'. A highly desired addition to the county maps are Speed's inclusion of vignettes depicting English battles and events. Here we find the Battle of Edgcote the first major action in the campaigns of 1469-71 and the second major period of unrest in the Wars of the Roses. It took place in Northamptonshire when the army of the Earl of Pembroke which was marching to join with Edward IV at Nottingham encountered a rebel force under Robin of Redesdale which was marching to join with the army of the Earl of Warwick. The right bares a frames showcasing the coat of arms of the ruling honorable families Duke and Earls over Northamptonshire. The shield of Sir William Compton is included in this 1676 edition and was not previously printed on some other editions. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Huntington both Shire and Shire towne with the ancient citie ely described"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting ink spot centre crease A handsome map of Huntingtonshire; taken from the famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. Engraved by Jodocus Hondius in 1610 this county map is the best of its kind. It is highly sought after for it level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. There are no finer county maps on the market. Huntingtonshire is beautifully introduced to us in a title cartouche flanked by two hunters and a stag; representing the hunting county which it is known for. The map further shows the series of fenced parks tress forests and lakes. Two open books sit on opposite sides telling the story of Huntington's noble history; the other recounts the significance of including the Isle of Ely in this map despite being a part of Cambridgeshire. The most important ruling Dukes and Earls are represented here by a series of coat of arms; notably including those of George Hastings and Henry Prince of Scotland. The King's coat of arms is shown above the Scale of Miles. The town plans of Huntington and Ely are inset within in map mirroring one another. Huntington a market and county town of Huntingtonshire dates back to the Anglo-Saxons and Danes. It is a frequent hunting and trading ground for the people and well-represented in this map thanks to the pastoral activity in the landscape. Ely better known as Isle of Ely is a famous cathedral city in Cambridgeshire due to the epic Ely Catherdal. The city has always been supported by royal families; such as King Henry VIII who granted a boarding school charter. Both of these plan were mapped by John Speed as indicated by the 'Scale of Pases'. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Hereford-Shire described With the true plot of trhe Citie Hereford as alsoe the Armes of thos Nobles that have bene intituled with that Dignity".‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge good margins An elaborately decorated and uncolored 1676 edition map of Herefordshire; taken from the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by famous English cartographer John Speed. Engraved by Jocodus Hondius in his Amsterdam workshop in 1610 this map demonstrates the highest level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. This map is particualrily interesting for depicting two cartographers in the lower corners - one holds a globe the other a pair of dividers. It is assumed that these are the significant individuals tied to the art of mapmaking. Herefordshire is a historic English county in the West Midlands. It's borders touch with those of Shropshire Worchestershire Glochestershire Mounmothshire and Breknokshire. The landscape of the county is relatively flat; save for a handful of small hills sprinkled around. The town plan of Hereford is found in the right corner. The plan is decorated with the town's coat of arms and a compass rose. Hereford is known as a cathedral city civil parish and the county town of Herefordshire; which can be told from the map. The famous Hereford Cathedral dating back to 1079 sits gallantly in the center of the plan; with a spider web of roads extending from it. Other significant buildings and places are marked by a letter and key guide. It is noteworthy to mention is that this plan was mapped by John Speed himself as indicated by the 'Scale of Pases' and dividers. A highly sought after feature of Speed's county maps are his inclusions of vignettes showing great English battles and events. The Herefordshire map bears a moment in action of the Battle of Mortimer's Cross in 1461. During the War of the Roses Owen Tudor the defeated Lancastrian leader was taken to Hereford by Sir Roger Vaughan to be executed. As dawn broke the meteorological phenomenon known as 'parhelion' occurred: three suns were seen to be rising. Edward of York appeared to have convinced the troops that it represented the Holy Trinity and that therefore God was on their side. This event is further articulated in a small frame beneath the vignette. The left side of the map also boasts several coat of arms of the county's ruling Earls and Dukes. The 'Earl of Hereford' is considered one of the first English peerage titles. Notable individuals include: Henry Bullingbrok 1st Duke of Hereford 1367 and future King Henry IV; William FitzOsbern 1st Earl of Hereford 1067 and close counselor to William the Conqueror; and Henry Bohun 1st Earl of Hereford 1199. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped. While being the first English atlas of the British Isles Speed's Atlas was also one of the first attempts to accurately survey Ireland and to incorporate a comprehensive list of their town plans into the maps. The 1676 edition of Speed's atlas never came with original color. The examples of this map of Herefordshire should always be uncolored and never colored. Born in Cheshire John Speed developed his interest in maps in the 1580s after moving to London to pursue his passions outside of tailoring. He there joined the Society of Antiquaries where his enthusiasm for cartography won him the attention of William Camden Robert Cotton and Sir Fulke Greville. By working with these figures Speed was able to do a large amount of research for his own work. In 1596 Greville bequeathed Speed with an unlimited allowance to research and then later write the Historie of Great Britaine. It was during this project which Speed had the encouragement to add a cartographic supplement to the work - what we today know as his most famous atlas. After being first published in 1611-1612 the 'Theatre of Great Britain' dominated the seventeenth-century English map market going through many reprints and editions. Thanks to the Atlas' success Speed earned the title of England's most well-known Stuart period cartographer and his work became the blueprint for folio atlases until the mid-18th century. Historically Speed is also noted for placing England into the mainstream of map publishing which had been dominated by the Dutch since the late sixteenth century. This map of Herefordshire is an excellent part of the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine and would make an outstanding addition to all map collections.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Rutlandshire with Oukham and Stanford her_ bordering Neighbor Newely described".‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting ink spot centre crease An elegant map of Rutlandshire; taken from the famous Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. Engraved by Jodocus Hondius in 1610 this county map is the best of its kind. It is highly sought after for it level of accuracy detail and craftsmanship. There are no finer county maps on the market. The county is introduced to us in a title cartouche embellished with cranes lobsters and the county shield. Rutland is depicted as a landlocked county in the East Midlands of England; bounded to the west and north by Leicestershire to the northeast by Lincolnshire and the southeast by Northamptonshire. It is the smallest historic county in England. The land shows few towns and is rather left to the imagination for it's handsome forests parks and hills. The town plans of Oukham and Stanford mirror one another on opposing ends of the map. The town of Oukham is shown as a simple market town. Only the great hall of the Norman castle in Oukham is still standing and is surrounded by steep earthworks marking the inner bailey. The hall dates from c. 1180-90. "It is the earliest hall of any English castle surviving so completely and it is doubly interesting in that it belonged not to a castle strictly speaking but rather to a fortified manor house." Pevsner The shield of Oukham decorates the upper corner. The symbol of the horseshoe on the shield is significant. Traditionally members of royalty and peers of the realm who visited or passed through the town had to pay a forfeit in the form of a horseshoe. The town of Stanfort is represented as more bustling with abbeys small castles and churches. Both of these plans were mapped by John Speed as indicated by the 'Scale of Pases'. The final detail touches by Hondius includes a selection of coat of arms belonging to local ruling Earls and Dukes; an elaborate compass rose; cherubim; and the arms of the royal King. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Anglesey Antiently called Mona. Described 1610"‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge light foxing offsetting creased corner light ink rubbing An extraordinary uncolored 1676 edition of Anglesey; part of the renowned Theatre of the Empire of Britaine by English cartographer John Speed. This edition was published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in London. The copper plates used for the printing of John Speed's maps were engraved by Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius in 1610. Hondius is most well-known for his elaborate early maps of Europe and the New World. These maps created are of the most highly sought after county maps; as they are famous for their accuracy level of detail and craftsmanship. This map of Anglesey is one of the best county maps available. An island off of the coat of Wales Anglesey is considered the largest island of Wales. This is expertly portrayed by Hondius' engraving sitting in the center surrounded by the Irish Sea and its calm waves. This map is further embellished with a gorgeous compass rose and extended rhumb lines; two full mast sailing ships and elegant strapwork cartouches. A plan of Beaumaris is provided in the top right corner with a legend giving the location of its most significant landmarks. Speed does a wonderful job highlighting the Beaumaris Castle built in 1282 by King Edward I as part of his campaign to conquer the north of Wales. This town was mapped by John Speed himself as it bares the 'Scale of Pases' as indication. The plan is decorated with the shield of Anglesey; a simple compass rose; and what appears to be a merman preparing to attack a whale in the adjacent sea. Along with a cartouche holding the outstanding coat of arms of the King; there are several other arms depicted. Christopher Villiers 1st Earl of Angelesey 1623 Master of Robes to King James I; and Arthur Annesley 1st Earl of Anglesey 1661 an Anglo-Irish royalist statesman. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

‎SPEED John 1552 1629‎

‎Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. "Hartford Shire described the sittuations of Harford and the most ancient towne S Albons with such memorable actions as have happened".‎

‎London: Bassett & Chiswell 1676. Single sheet 15 x 20 inches Full margins showing the plate mark slight browning to edge ink smear margin good margins A rich uncolored map of Hartford Shire; taken from the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain by famous English cartographer John Speed. The plates used for printing these maps were engraved by Dutch mapmaker Jodocus Hondius in his Amsterdam workshop in 1610. There maps are highly sought after for their stunning accuracy detailing and craftsmanship. Hardford Shire is beautifully decorated with symmetrical framing and cartouches. A goddess perhaps dedicated to modern cartography fills the lower left corner. Hertfordshire is an English county founded in the Norse-Saxon wars of the 9th century. The town was first recorded in the early 10th century; making it one of the oldest historic counties. "The history of Hertfordshire includes such a number of events of primary importance that it is somewhat difficult to make a selection of those most fitted to appear in the limited space available." Lydekker There are two plans inset within this map. First of Hartforde. Herford is credited with being first created around 974 by King Edgar the Peaceful. The town plan is shown in great detail providing its viewer with a letter guide to the most significant roads and buildings. This royal county town bares its shield and was mapped by John Speed himself as indicated by the 'Scale of Pases'. The second is of Verolanium a settled town from Roman Britain. It was sites nearby the modern central city of St Albans in Hertfordshire. Verulamium contained a forum basilica and a theatre much of which were damaged during two fires. Today much of this ancient town has remained unexcavated. A framed detailed storyline of this area is provided; including short information of the Roman invasion of Britain and the origins of their patron saint Albans. A highly desirable aspect of Speed's county maps is his inclusions of vignettes depicting famous English battles and events. This map of Hartford Shire wonderfully depicts three of them. The map boasts "three severall tymes three mortall and bloddy Battells of Englands civill discetions have bene fought" during the War of the Roses. The First Battle in 1455 which Richard of York and Neville the Kingmaker defeat the Lancastrians killed their leader Edmund Beaufort and captured King Henry VI. The Lancastrians recaptured their King during the Second Battle in 1461. The Third Battle took place in 1471 aftermath led to victory of Lancastrians. Neville the Kingmaker was beheaded and Edward IV was ruler. This story is also provided in a border frame beneath the vignettes. The county maps found in the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine were the first consistent attempt to show territorial divisions but it was mainly Speed's town plans that were the major innovation and probably his greatest contribution to British cartography. Together they formed the first printed collection of town plans of the British Isles and for at least 50 of the 73 included in the Theatre it was the first time these towns had been mapped.

Bound in modern cloth retaining the early vellum upper cover. Cloth folding case. 64V1D "THIS LATIN EDITION OF SPEED'S ATLAS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IS EXTREMELY RARE" Chubb. First published in English in 1606 Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine followed the model of Ortelius's Theatrum orbis terrarum in its title and its format with map sheets backed by historical and geographical texts and gazetteers of place names. This was the one of the earliest attempts in England at producing an atlas on a grand scale with the first detailed maps of Ireland the first set of county maps consistently showing the boundaries of territorial divisions and the first truly comprehensive set of English town plans-all notable contributions to British topography. Perhaps as many as fifty of the seventy-three towns had not been previously mapped and about fifty-one of the plans were probably Speed's own work. Speed's son John may have helped him in surveying towns. One of the work's most significant contributions is the balance that was struck between the modern and historical with information placed on the edges of the maps about antiquarian remains sites and vignettes of famous battles together with the arms of princes and nobles. Scotland is covered in less detail as Scottish cartographer Timothy Pont was still in the process of surveying the country. Individual maps for the Theatre were prepared from about 1602 and plates were subsequently engraved by Jodocus Hondius who was noted for his skill in decoration. George Humble was granted a privilege to print the Theatre for twenty-one years from 1608 and the Theatre and History were published together 1611-1612. An immediate success three new editions and issues of each appeared in Speed's lifetime including this Latin edition and a miniature version was first published about 1619-1620. The maps in the Theatre became the basis for subsequent folio atlases until the mid-18th century. REFERENCES: Chubb XXIVa; ESTC S107575. Amsterdam: T.

‎SPEED John‎

‎Worcestershire Described‎

‎London: to be solde by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at ye Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange 1665. 1665. Double-page engraved map fine contemporary outline hand colour upper left and right margins skilfully repaired margins reinforced with japan paper. The map bears the imprint of Roger Rea the Elder and Younger. The Reas had purchased the rights to Speed's work from William Garrett in 1589 who had previously purchased them from the widow of William Humble in the same year. Skelton suggests that the father and son intended a new edition of the atlas for the Restoration of 1660. However the atlas would appear not to have been published until 1665. This is borne out by an advertisement in the Term Catalogue by the subsequent owners of the plates Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in 1675:"Mr John Speed's. Geography of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. together with his Prospect. all in one entire Volume hath been for seven Years past out of Print the greatest part of an Impression then newly Printed being destroyed by the late dreadful Fire 1666". This is borne out by the rarity of the Rea edition of the atlas. There is evidence that they planned an edition of 1666 as there are impressions of Sussex Buckingham and Derby with Rea's imprint which bear that date. Rea would later sell the plates to Bassett and Chiswell who would publish a new edition in 1676. to be solde by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at ye Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange unknown‎

FIRST EDITION of "The Theatre"; 1611 bound with the second edition 1631 of the "Prospect" "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. was the earliest English attempt at producing an atlas on a grand scale with the first detailed maps of the provinces of Ireland the first set of county maps consistently attempting to show the boundaries of territorial divisions and the first truly comprehensive set of English town plans-a notable contribution to British topography. Perhaps as many as fifty of the seventy-three towns had not previously been mapped and about fifty-one of the plans were probably Speed's own work. A balance is struck between the modern and historical with information placed on the edges of the maps about antiquarian remains and sites and vignettes of famous battles together with arms of princes and nobles. This additional information is one of the Theatre's most significant contributions" Dictionary of National Biography. The "Theatre" is complete with engraved architectural title engraved Royal Achievements by Jodocus Hondius dated 1611 letterpress list of kingdoms and woodcut royal arms three letterpress section titles with woodcut borders three woodcut royal arms 67 double-page engraved maps most by Jodocus Hondius woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials mounted on guards throughout. The "Prospect" was intended as a supplement to the "Theatre" and includes 22 maps of different parts of the world including the famous world map presumably by Abraham Goos and the map of America both showing California as an island. With engraved portrait frontispiece bound before "Theatre". NOTE: The "Prospect" is lacking "Invasions" but with 'Canaan' bound in its place and lacking the final text leaf on 'Civill Warres'.

‎Denbighshire‎

‎London: Henry Overton Bassett & Chiswell 1713. Copper-engraved map with full modern colour very large marings in very good condition except for a stain at the bottom edge well away from the image. A highly decorative map of Denbighshire by one of the greatest English cartographers<br/> <br/>Denbighshire in Wales clearly a mountainous region was surveyed by Christopher Saxton which was Speed's source for this map. William Smith Pursuivant at the College of Arms was the apparent source for the coats of arms: one of which is that of Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester Queen Elizabeth's favorite. In the town plan of Denbigh in the upper right corner is a circular inset displaying what appears to be a castle. It is actually an unfinished and indeed never finished church that Leicester had tried to have built in Denbigh. Apparently his unpopularity was part of the reason the church was never completed. The map is decorated with a sea monster a classical god on horseback and a ship. Henry Overton's edition of this map includes the few roads that snaked their way through the county.<br/> <br/>cf.

His account of the reign of Henry VIII p. 998 is followed by an appendix described in the running head as ‘A Catalogue of the Religious Houses Colledges and Hospitals sometimes in England and Wales.’ These sections hold a wealth of information on early successors and founders of English Institutions. It was likely Speed an apt historian himself borrowed many of his materials from William Camden and was supplied by many Sir Robert Cotton Sir Henry Spelman and other antiquaries with whom he was acquainted. Although he probably had access to historical sources that are now lost to us he certainly used the work of Saxton and Norden his work as a historian is considered mediocre and secondary in importance to his map-making and the town plans he drew. Despite its many defects the Historie was very frequently cited by later writers. An important rich historical and artifactual book on Early English history.
