EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of the County of Cornwall, 1579" takes us on a journey back in time to explore the intricate details of this historic region. Created by Christopher Saxton, a renowned cartographer from the late 16th century, this print showcases his exceptional skill and attention to detail. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and geography. The peninsula juts out proudly into the Atlantic Ocean, its jagged coastline beautifully depicted with delicate strokes. As we study closer, we can discern tiny villages nestled along the shorelines and rolling hills stretching inland. Saxton's mastery is evident not only in his depiction of physical features but also in his inclusion of significant landmarks and symbols. The coat of arms adorning the top left corner adds an air of regality to this piece while providing insight into Cornwall's historical significance. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes clear that every line and stroke serves a purpose – each element meticulously placed to create an accurate representation of Cornwall during that era. This map is more than just a geographical tool; it is a work of art that encapsulates both beauty and functionality. Preserved within private collections today, this hand-coloured engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. It reminds us not only of our fascination with maps but also our desire to understand and appreciate the world around us through artistry and precision.
