EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Speed's map of Hertfordshire, dating back to the year 1611. Extracted from his renowned work "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" this image provides a glimpse into an era long gone. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries, this original 400-year-old map is a testament to the rich history and geographical knowledge of its time. Despite its age, the map bears witness to both wear and tear as well as evidence of being part of a tightly bound volume. The binding can be seen prominently in the middle of the image, reminding us that these maps were not only tools for exploration but also cherished possessions carefully stored away. John Speed's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every inch of this cartographic masterpiece. From shires and hundreds to cities and shire towns, he presents an exact geography not only for Hertfordshire but also for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and other surrounding areas within England's kingdom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Sheffield City Archives, we are transported back in time - imagining how these maps would have guided travelers through unknown territories or inspired dreams of distant lands. This print serves as a window into our collective past and reminds us that even after centuries have passed since their creation, historical artifacts like these continue to captivate our imagination with their enduring beauty and significance.
