EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of England, c1250". Crafted by Matthew Paris, an esteemed artist, historian, and monk from St. Albans, this map is regarded as one of the earliest detailed depictions of Great Britain that still exists today. Created around 1250 A. D. , it offers a fascinating glimpse into the medieval landscape. The map highlights several notable features with great precision. The two Roman walls are prominently displayed, serving as enduring reminders of Britain's ancient past. Rivers meander across the map, illustrating their significance in shaping the country's geography and providing vital transportation routes. Towns dotting the landscape indicate bustling centers of commerce and human activity during that era. Of particular interest is the inclusion of St. Albans Monastery (cenobium Sancti Albani). This renowned religious institution holds immense historical importance and was likely a source of pride for Matthew Paris himself as a monk from St. Albans. As we delve into this extraordinary artifact from centuries ago, we gain insight into both English history and cartography during medieval times. Its meticulous details offer us a window into how people perceived their world back then - an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
