167621977<p>London: And are to be solde by Thomas Bassett in Fleet Street and Ric: Chiswell in St. Pauls Churchyard 1676. 390 by 510mm. 15.25 by 20 inches. Speed's map of Lancashire Double-page engraved map with hand-colour minor wear to edges. A map of Lancashire from the 1676 edition of the first large-scale atlas of the British Isles Speed's 'Theatre'. In the top right-hand corner is an inset town-plan of Lancaster probably the first printed plan of Lancaster. On the left-hand side are portraits of monarchs from the house of Lancaster including Henry IV and on the right of monarchs from the house of York including Richard III. On the verso of the map is printed 'Hundreds in Cheshire' and a description of 'The County Palatine of Chester'. John Speed 1552-1629 was the outstanding cartographer of his age. By trade a merchant tailor but by proclivity a historian it was the patronage of Sir Fulke Greville poet and statesman that allowed him to pursue this interest in earnest. His 'Theatre of Great Britain' from which the present work is drawn was first published in 1611 or 1612 and is 'the earliest English attempt at atlas-production on a grand scale' Skelton. Drawing heavily on the work of Saxton and Norden little of Speed's cartography is original he acknowledges 'I have put my sickle into other mens corne' instead it is his blend of cartography and history incorporating town-plans vignettes and genealogy that makes Speed an innovator. This map is from the 1676 edition of the 'Theatre' published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell.
