EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history: Devonshire, engraved by the talented Jodocus Hondius. Taken from John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, this hand-coloured copper engraving is a true masterpiece. Published by John Sudbury and George Humble in 1611-12, it offers an exquisite glimpse into the world of cartography during the 17th century. The print features intricate details that transport us back in time. From its meticulously drawn map and town plans to its beautifully adorned coat of arms and compass, every element tells a story. The artistry is further enhanced by the presence of a striking cartouche and crest that add elegance to this stunning work. Devonshire itself emerges as the focal point, with Exeter (Excester) prominently displayed on this English county map. The borders delineate geographical boundaries while highlighting key landmarks such as rivers and coastlines. Notably, both the Channel and Irish Sea are depicted with precision. As we admire this extraordinary piece from our private collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship employed in early cartography—a timeless reminder of how maps have shaped our understanding of geography throughout centuries past.
