EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of England and Wales, 1644". Created by the talented engraver Wenceslaus Hollar, this map is a true testament to his skill and attention to detail. The intricate cartography on display here allows us to explore the shires, cities, and market towns that made up England and Wales during this period. Each region is meticulously labeled, giving us insight into the geographical landscape of the time. One cannot help but be drawn to the coat of arms scattered throughout the map, representing various kings who once ruled these lands. These symbols serve as a reminder of England's rich royal heritage. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are also captivated by the vast British Sea stretching out towards Ireland in one direction and reaching towards continental Europe in another. The presence of ships sailing across these waters adds an element of movement and adventure to an otherwise static image. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only Hollar's artistic talent but also providing a glimpse into what life was like over three centuries ago. It serves as a valuable historical artifact that reminds us of how much has changed while simultaneously celebrating our shared past.
