Painting Description
The "Cambridgeshire, 1610/1630 Edition For John Sudbury & G. Humbell" is a notable cartographic work by the esteemed English cartographer John Speed. John Speed (1552–1629) is renowned for his detailed and decorative maps, which have become significant historical documents, providing insight into the geography and urban development of early 17th-century England and Wales. This particular map is part of Speed's larger collection, "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," first published in 1611-1612, which was the first atlas to include detailed maps of the counties of England and Wales, along with maps of Scotland and Ireland.
The map of Cambridgeshire, created around 1610 and later editions published in 1630, is a fine example of Speed's work, combining geographical accuracy with artistic embellishment. It features intricate details of the county's towns, villages, rivers, and topographical features, providing a snapshot of Cambridgeshire during the early Stuart period. The map is adorned with elaborate cartouches, coats of arms, and vignettes, which were characteristic of Speed's style and added both aesthetic appeal and informational value.
Published by John Sudbury and George Humbell, prominent London-based publishers of the time, the map reflects the high standards of printing and engraving of the period. Sudbury and Humbell were instrumental in bringing Speed's works to a wider audience, ensuring that these maps were not only functional tools for navigation and administration but also collectible items for the educated elite.
The "Cambridgeshire, 1610/1630 Edition" is more than just a geographical representation; it is a historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the socio-political landscape of early 17th-century England. It remains a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and collectors, illustrating the rich cartographic heritage of the United Kingdom.
