Painting Description
"Suffolke Described And Divided Into Hundreds, The Situation Of The Fayre Towne Of Ipswich Shewed..." is a notable cartographic work by the renowned English cartographer John Speed. Published in the early 17th century, this map is part of Speed's larger project, "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," which is one of the most significant atlases of the British Isles from that period. John Speed, born in 1552 and passing in 1629, is celebrated for his detailed and decorative maps, which have been highly valued for both their historical significance and artistic merit.
The map of Suffolk, like others in Speed's collection, is meticulously detailed, showcasing the county divided into its historical hundreds—a traditional administrative division. It also highlights the prominent town of Ipswich, providing a glimpse into its layout and important landmarks during the early 1600s. Speed's work is distinguished by its combination of geographical accuracy and elaborate artistic embellishments, including coats of arms, illustrations of local flora and fauna, and vignettes of significant buildings and scenes.
Speed's maps were not only practical tools for navigation and administration but also served as a form of visual storytelling, capturing the essence of the regions they depicted. His work on Suffolk is no exception, offering insights into the county's geography, settlements, and socio-political landscape of the time. The map is a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and enthusiasts of early modern cartography, providing a window into the past and reflecting the cartographic knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the early 17th century.
"Suffolke Described And Divided Into Hundreds, The Situation Of The Fayre Towne Of Ipswich Shewed..." remains an important artifact in the study of historical cartography, exemplifying John Speed's enduring legacy as one of England's foremost cartographers.
