Created in the late 16th century, this exquisite artwork is part of John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain collection. The print, hand-colored with meticulous detail, transports us back to a time when cartography was both an art form and a scientific endeavor. The map depicts Dorsetshire, an English county rich in heritage and natural beauty.

A compass rose guides our eyes across borders and geographical features such as rivers and hills that shape this picturesque landscape.
