"Lincolnshire C.1610-11" is a historically significant map created by the renowned English cartographer John Speed. John Speed (1552-1629) is celebrated for his detailed and decorative maps, which are considered some of the finest cartographic works of the early 17th century. Speed's maps are particularly valued for their historical and geographical accuracy, as well as their artistic embellishments, which include intricate borders, coats of arms, and city plans.

The map of Lincolnshire, produced around 1610-1611, is part of Speed's monumental work "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," first published in 1611. This atlas was the first to provide comprehensive maps of the counties of England and Wales, and it also included maps of Scotland and Ireland. Speed's work was groundbreaking in its scope and detail, offering a visual representation of the British Isles that was unparalleled at the time.

Lincolnshire, a county in the East Midlands of England, is depicted with remarkable precision in Speed's map. The map showcases the county's topography, settlements, and significant landmarks of the early 17th century. It includes detailed illustrations of towns, villages, rivers, and roads, providing a valuable snapshot of the region during this period. The map is also adorned with decorative elements, such as the Royal Arms, the arms of the local nobility, and vignettes of notable buildings and scenes.

One of the distinguishing features of Speed's maps is the inclusion of town plans, and the Lincolnshire map is no exception. It features an inset plan of the city of Lincoln, offering a detailed view of the city's layout, including its streets, buildings, and fortifications. This inset provides a fascinating glimpse into the urban geography of Lincoln during the early 17th century.

John Speed's "Lincolnshire C.1610-11" is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art. Its combination of cartographic precision and decorative artistry makes it a treasured piece for historians, geographers, and collectors alike. The map remains an important resource for understanding the historical geography of Lincolnshire and the broader context of early modern England.
