Copper-engraved map with full modern colour very large marings in very good condition except for a stain at the bottom edge well away from the image. A highly decorative map of Denbighshire by one of the greatest English cartographers<br/> <br/> Denbighshire in Wales clearly a mountainous region was surveyed by Christopher Saxton which was Speed's source for this map. William Smith Pursuivant at the College of Arms was the apparent source for the coats of arms: one of which is that of Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester Queen Elizabeth's favorite. In the town plan of Denbigh in the upper right corner is a circular inset displaying what appears to be a castle. It is actually an unfinished and indeed never finished church that Leicester had tried to have built in Denbigh. Apparently his unpopularity was part of the reason the church was never completed. The map is decorated with a sea monster a classical god on horseback and a ship. Henry Overton's edition of this map includes the few roads that snaked their way through the county.<br/> <br/> cf.

162764226London. c.1627. John Speed 1552-1629 is arguably the most famous name in early English cartography. In 1610 he published his wonderful and historic atlas 'The Theatre of Great Britain'. In 1627 he published another edition entitled 'A Prospect of The Most Famous Parts of The World' published in London by John Sudbury and George Humble. Speed based his maps on the earlier works done by Christopher Saxton and John Norden. His maps have always been keenly sought after as include many decorative features. Examples include: compass roses cherubs coats of arms mannerist style decoration prominent town plans calligraphy and well defined regional physical features. John Speed's maps proved so popular that they were issued for many years after his death. This example is of the Welsh county of Merionethshire. Size:420 x 545 mm. Copperplate engraving with later hand colour. Fair condition. Map has had repairs to lower centrefold and margin. General toning. unknown

Original antique copper engraving hand colored in outline and wash. John Speed 1551 or 1552 28 July 1629 was an English cartographer and historian. He is alongside Christopher Saxton one of the best known English mapmakers of the early modern period.Speed was born in the Cheshire village of Farndon and went into his father Samuel Speed's tailoring later in life.While working in London Speed was a tailor and member of a corresponding guild and came to the attention of "learned" individuals. These individuals included Sir Fulke Greville who subsequently made him an allowance to enable him to devote his whole attention to research. By 1598 he had enough patronage to leave his manual labour job and "engage in full-time scholarship". As a reward for his earlier efforts Queen Elizabeth granted Speed the use of a room in the Custom House. Speed was by this point as "tailor turned scholar" who had a highly developed "pictorial sense".In 1575 Speed married a woman named Susanna Draper in London later having children with her. These children definitely included a son named John Speed later a "learned" man with a doctorate and an unknown number of others since chroniclers and historians cannot agree on how many children they raised. Regardless there is no doubt that the Speed family was relatively well-off.By 1595 Speed published a map of biblical Canaan in 1598 he presented his maps to Queen Elizabeth and in 16111612 he published maps of Great Britain with his son perhaps assisting Speed in surveys of English towns.At age 77 or 78 in August 1629 Speed died. He was buried alongside his wife in London's St Giles-without-Cripplegate church on Fore Street. Later on a memorial to John Speed was also erected behind the altar of the church. According to the church's website "His was one of the few memorials in the church that survived the bombing" of London during The Blitz of 19401941 . The website also notes that "the cast for the niche in which the bust is placed was provided by the Merchant Taylors' Company of which John Speed was a member". His memorial brass has ended up on display in the Burrell Collection near Glasgow. Wikipedia G. Humble unknown
