EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Saxtons Map of Norfolk from 1574, a remarkable piece of cartographic history. Created by Christopher Saxton and featured in the "Atlas of the Counties of England and Wales" this map is considered the first atlas ever made for any country. The intricate detail captured in this particular section highlights the county of Norfolk, revealing its rivers, towns, villages, and even a ship sailing through The Wash. The vibrant colors bring life to this centuries-old map, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. Preserved as a manuscript in the British Library in London, it serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike. Edward Lynam's book "British Maps and Map-Makers" sheds light on the importance of these maps throughout British history. In this photograph print from 1944, we witness a fascinating intersection between past and present—a glimpse into how people perceived geography during Elizabethan times juxtaposed with mid-20th century Britain. As we explore this image further, we are reminded that maps not only provide geographical information but also offer insights into social history. They reflect cultural contexts while shaping our understanding of places over time. This extraordinary print invites us to delve into Norfolk's rich heritage while appreciating Christopher Saxton's pioneering work in mapping England's counties.
