EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed and beautifully hand-colored map, titled "The Invasions of England and Ireland with their Civil Wars since the Conquest," dates back to circa 1627. The map was created by the renowned English cartographer John Speed, with the sculpture by Cornelis Danckerts and published by George Humble in London. The map offers a comprehensive depiction of significant battles, invasions, and naval engagements that have shaped the history of England and Ireland since the Norman Conquest of 1066. The map covers the British Isles and highlights key locations such as Edinburgh, Dublin, London, and various other cities and towns. Notable historical events marked on the map include the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), which saw the struggle for the English throne between the House of Lancaster and the House of York, and the Spanish Armada (1586-1588), a failed invasion attempt by the Spanish fleet under Philip II of Spain. The map's intricate detail and historical significance make it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of England and Ireland. The map's borders are adorned with elaborate decorative elements, and the hand-coloring adds an extra layer of visual interest. This map is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and historical knowledge of its creators, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
