Painting Description
John Speed's "Pembrokeshyre" is a historically significant map that forms part of his renowned atlas, "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," first published in 1611-1612. Speed, an eminent English cartographer and historian, is celebrated for his detailed and decorative maps, which were among the first to provide comprehensive and accurate representations of the counties of England and Wales.
"Pembrokeshyre" specifically focuses on Pembrokeshire, a county in the southwest of Wales. The map is notable not only for its geographical detail but also for its artistic embellishments, which include coats of arms, illustrations of local landmarks, and vignettes depicting historical events and figures associated with the area. These elements reflect Speed's dual interests in cartography and history, providing a rich visual and informational resource.
The map is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, including the depiction of towns, villages, rivers, and topographical features. Speed's work was groundbreaking in its use of both contemporary surveys and historical research, combining these sources to create maps that were both practical for navigation and informative about the historical and cultural context of the regions depicted.
"Pembrokeshyre" also includes a detailed inset of the town of Pembroke, showcasing its layout and significant buildings. This inset is complemented by a descriptive text that provides historical insights and context, making the map a valuable resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of cartography and history.
John Speed's maps, including "Pembrokeshyre," are highly regarded for their accuracy, artistry, and historical value. They offer a window into the early 17th century, reflecting the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the time. Today, Speed's maps are prized by collectors and historians alike, and they continue to be studied for their contributions to the fields of cartography and historical geography.
