EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning engraving of Gloucestershire, created by the talented Jodocus Hondius in the late 16th century.

Taken from John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, this hand-colored copper engraving is a testament to both Hondius' skill as an artist and Speed's dedication to cartography. The map depicts various cities, towns, and battle sites within Gloucestershire, including Bristow (Bristol) and Gloucester itself. The inclusion of coat of arms adds an air of regality to the composition while also providing insight into the historical significance of these locations. A striking cartouche further enhances the visual appeal by framing important information about each area. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print invites viewers on a journey through time. It serves as a reminder that maps are not merely tools for navigation but also works of art that capture our collective heritage.
