This print showcases a genuine piece of history - John Speed's map of Camarthenshire, dating back to 1611. Extracted from the renowned "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" this image provides an exact geography of England, Scotland, Ireland, and the surrounding islands. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' collection (914.2 SQ), this 400-year-old map offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. While time has left its mark on this ancient artifact, with visible signs of wear and tear as well as evidence of its binding in the middle, it only adds to its authenticity and charm. The delicate lines and intricate details depicted on this map are a testament to John Speed's skillful craftsmanship. As we explore this remarkable piece, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when cartography was both artistry and science. Each city, town, shire, and hundred is meticulously divided and described with precision. It is important to note that this image is not associated with any commercial use or company; rather it serves as a valuable historical document preserved by Sheffield City Archives. Let us marvel at the rich heritage encapsulated within these faded contours - a tangible link connecting us to our ancestors' world while reminding us how far we have come in understanding our surroundings.
