Painting Description
Robert Morden (c. 1650 – 1703) was an English bookseller, publisher, and maker of maps and globes. He is best known for his cartographic works, particularly those included in William Camden's "Britannia" and his own series of county maps. One of his notable contributions to the field of cartography is the map of Suffolk, which exemplifies the advancements in map-making during the late 17th century.
Morden's map of Suffolk, created around 1695, is part of his series of county maps that were published in various editions of Camden's "Britannia." These maps are celebrated for their detail and accuracy, reflecting the growing demand for reliable geographical information during this period. Morden's work was characterized by meticulous attention to detail, incorporating information from various sources to produce maps that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The Suffolk map by Morden is distinguished by its intricate depiction of the county's geography, including towns, villages, roads, rivers, and topographical features. It also includes decorative elements such as cartouches, coats of arms, and other embellishments that were typical of the period's cartographic style. These artistic features not only enhanced the visual appeal of the map but also conveyed information about the region's history and significance.
Morden's maps were widely used and appreciated for their clarity and precision. They played a crucial role in the dissemination of geographical knowledge in England and contributed to the broader understanding of the country's landscape. The map of Suffolk, like Morden's other works, remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the cartographic practices and geographical knowledge of the late 17th century.
Today, Robert Morden's maps, including his depiction of Suffolk, are highly regarded by historians, collectors, and cartography enthusiasts. They are often studied for their historical value and as examples of the artistry and craftsmanship of early modern map-making. Morden's contribution to the field of cartography continues to be recognized and celebrated for its impact on the development of accurate and detailed maps in England.
