EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully crafted reproduction of the "Old County Map of Cumbria 1648" by Johan Blaeu takes us back in time to a period when cartography was an art form. Carefully art worked from a scan of an antique original, this map captures the intricate details and charm of its predecessor. Johan Blaeu, a renowned Dutch cartographer and publisher, established his firm in Amsterdam during the late 16th century. Originally known for creating globes and scientific instruments, Blaeu's passion for maps led him to purchase some early map plates from Jodocus Hondius. Little did he know that this small beginning would pave the way for one of the largest and most prolific map publishing houses of the seventeenth century. The historic significance of this particular map lies not only in its representation of Cumbria but also as a testament to Blaeu's legacy. The detailed depiction showcases towns, rivers, forests, and mountains with remarkable accuracy considering it was created over three centuries ago. As we gaze upon this old English county map, we are transported back in time to explore Cumbria's rich history through cartographic lenses. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, this reproduction is sure to captivate your imagination. Let it adorn your walls as both an educational piece and a stunning work of art that pays homage to Johan Blaeu's enduring contribution to our understanding of geography.
