EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Speed's map of the Province of Ulster, dating back to 1611. A remarkable piece from his renowned work, "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" it offers a precise geographical representation of Ireland, Scotland, and the surrounding islands. The focal point is undoubtedly the inset featuring Enis Kelling Fort, famously known as Enniskillen. As an authentic artifact preserved in Sheffield Libraries' collection (914.2 SQ), this image provides a glimpse into history with its genuine 400-year-old allure. However, time has left its mark on this precious map; signs of wear and tear are visible alongside evidence of being part of a tightly bound volume. The intricate details meticulously captured by John Speed transport us back to an era when cartography was both art and science. This particular map serves as a valuable historical resource for understanding the province's boundaries and landmarks during that period. It is important to note that this photograph does not represent any commercial use but rather aims to celebrate our rich heritage through visual storytelling. By sharing this image from Sheffield City Archives, we honor the craftsmanship behind John Speed's masterpiece while appreciating its significance in documenting our collective past.
