"Speed's Map of Early Britain" is a historical map created by the renowned English cartographer John Speed (1551/1552–1629). This map is particularly notable for its rich embellishments and historical references, including the depictions of 14 kings from the 6th and 7th centuries along its borders. These regal portraits serve to provide a visual context to the regions and historical periods represented on the map. The map itself is a testament to Speed's dedication to detail and his interest in the historical and cultural aspects of cartography.

The map is further distinguished by its English text on the verso, which provides additional insights and explanations regarding the geographical features and historical context of Early Britain. This text would have served as an informative guide for the map's contemporary users, offering a narrative that complements the visual representation of Britain's early medieval landscape.

John Speed's work is highly regarded for its accuracy and artistic merit, and his maps are considered some of the finest examples of English cartography from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. "Speed's Map of Early Britain" is no exception, and it holds significant value not only as a navigational tool from its time but also as a historical document that offers a window into the understanding and appreciation of Britain's past during Speed's lifetime.

The map is a part of Speed's larger work, "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," which was first published in 1611. This atlas was the first to include individual maps of the English and Welsh counties and large plans of towns and cities. It represents a landmark in the cartography of Britain and continues to be of great interest to historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of cartography.
