162764225London. 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 stylish 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 decorative and attractive example is of the Welsh county of Caernarvonshire. Size: 420 x 525 mm. Copperplate engraving with later hand colour. Fair to good condition. Repair to lower centrefold. Margins slim and 'chipped'. unknown

16765645London: Basset & Chiswell 1676. Copper engraving 39 x 51.5 cms recent hand-colour inset of Cardigan very minor staining on the right-hand side of the map English text on verso. John Speed 1552-1629 is unquestionably the most significant English map-maker of the seventeenth-century. A brief note from Granger's Bibliographical History of England 1779 contains most of the information we have about Speed's life: "John Speed who was bred a Tailor was by the generosity of Sir Fulk Grevil his patron set free from a manual employment and enabled to pursue his studies to which he was strongly inclined by the bent of his genius. The fruits of them were his Theatre of Great Britain containing an entire set of maps of the counties drawn by himself his History of Great Britain richly adorned with seals coins & medals from the Cotton collection; and his Genealogies of Scripture first bound up with the Bible in 1611 which was the first edition of the present English translation. His maps were very justly esteemed & his History of Great Britain was in its kind incomparably more complete than all the histories of his predecessors put together ." The first edition of Speed's "Theatre" was published in 1612. It was the first atlas of the British Isles and the first attempt made by an Englishman to match the achievements of the great continental publishing houses - although much of the engraving of the copper plates was performed in Amsterdam by Jodocus Hondius. Speed was an antiquary and intended that his atlas should be read in conjunction with his history of Britain. He managed to include a great deal of historical detail on his 'modern' county maps and the inset town plans some surveyed by himself together comprise the first collection of town plans of the British Isles all in all making the Theatre a highly decorative as well as a useful volume. It was a great success and there were editions printed throughout the seventeenth-century. Map Basset & Chiswell unknown
