EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure - the "Map of Surrey" engraved by Jodocus Hondius. Created in the late 16th century, this exquisite piece is part of John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain collection. Published in 1611-12 by John Sudbury and George Humble, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the English county's rich heritage. Hand-coloured with meticulous detail, this copper engraving depicts various towns, cities, and landmarks within Surrey. The map features intricate coat of arms representing different regions and an elegant compass guiding explorers through its diverse landscapes. Notably, it highlights iconic sites such as Richmond Palace and Nonsuch Palace - testaments to Surrey's grandeur during that era. Divided into hundreds (administrative divisions), this map provides valuable insights into the county's administrative structure at that time. A beautifully designed cartouche adorns one corner, adding an artistic touch to this informative piece. Additionally, a crest symbolizes Surrey's unique identity within England. Preserved in a private collection today, this remarkable artwork transports us back in time to explore Surrey's past glory. Its blend of historical accuracy and aesthetic appeal makes it an invaluable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
