Created in the late 16th century, this exquisite artwork is part of John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain collection. The map, meticulously hand-colored on copper engraving, offers a glimpse into the English county's rich geography and borders during the early 17th century. The attention to detail in this print is truly awe-inspiring. Every town, city, and village is intricately depicted with their respective coat of arms and compass directions. A beautifully designed cartouche adorns one corner while a majestic crest graces another, adding elegance to this already stunning composition.
