EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving of "Bedfordshire and the situation of Bedford" by the renowned artist Jodocus Hondius. Created between 1611-12, this hand-coloured copper engraving is a remarkable piece from John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain. The intricate details in this artwork transport us back to a time when cartography was both an art form and a scientific pursuit. The map depicts the town and county of Bedford with utmost precision, capturing its geographical features with accuracy. The inclusion of various elements such as globes, compasses, cherubs, and coats of arms adds depth and symbolism to the composition. John Speed's collaboration with publishers John Sudbury and George Humble resulted in this exceptional creation that has stood the test of time. Its historical significance lies not only in its representation but also in its contribution to heraldry and crest design during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate both beauty and knowledge simultaneously. This particular piece serves as a testament to Hondius' mastery as an engraver while providing valuable insights into Bedfordshire's past.
