The image is sourced from Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, a remarkable work that presents an accurate geography of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, along with their surrounding islands. Preserved in Sheffield Libraries' collection (914.2 SQ), this genuine 400-year-old map offers a glimpse into the rich history and intricate details of these lands. Despite its age, this extraordinary piece exhibits signs of wear and tear that bear witness to its journey through time. The binding in the middle serves as a reminder that it was once part of a tightly bound volume cherished by generations past. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to an era where cartography played a crucial role in understanding and navigating our world.
