EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Leicester, brought to life by the skilled hands of Jodocus Hondius in the late 16th century. Taken from John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, this hand-coloured copper engraving is a true masterpiece that transports us back in time. The intricate details and precision captured in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. Every street, building, and landmark is meticulously depicted, offering a glimpse into Leicester's rich history. The city's coat of arms proudly adorns the print, symbolizing its heritage and significance. Hondius' artistry is further enhanced by John Speed's meticulous cartography skills. The compass at the center serves as both an aesthetic element and a reminder of their dedication to accuracy. As we admire this exquisite piece, we can't help but feel connected to Leicester's past. It invites us to explore its streets as they were centuries ago – bustling with activity and brimming with stories waiting to be discovered. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Art Library for preserving such treasures from our cultural heritage.
