EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matthew Paris' Map of Great Britain, offering a glimpse into the country's geography and history during the 13th century. Created around 1250, this medieval masterpiece reveals rivers, towns, and even weather patterns in the southern region of England and parts of Wales. The map's intricate design and vivid colors draw attention to its meticulous details. As we examine this historical artifact, it becomes apparent that many place-names depicted on the map are still recognizable today, demonstrating how some locations have retained their identity over centuries. Notably, the word "Auster" is inscribed over the English Channel at the bottom of the map, signifying wind patterns associated with heavy cloud cover and fog. Matthew Paris himself was a historian and monk at St Albans Abbey who dedicated his talents to cartography. This particular manuscript is preserved in London's British Library as Cotton MS Claudius D. vi. Its inclusion in Edward Lynam's book "British Maps and Map-Makers" further solidifies its significance within cartographic studies. The print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty of this medieval map as well as its valuable insights into Britain's social history. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage while highlighting how geographical features have shaped our understanding of different regions throughout time.
