John Speed 1552-1629 began his career as a tailor with deep interests in history theology and cartography. The patronage of Sir Fulke Greville Lord Brooke 1554-1628 allowed him to give up his trade and dedicate himself to these interests. In terms of cartography he is especially known for an ambitious project to publish a series of maps of English counties called Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine first published in 1611. Designed along the lines of Ortelius' Theatrum orbis terrarum Speed's Theatre was groundbreaking: it provided some of the first detailed maps of the Irish provinces as well as town plans for seventy-three English towns.
