About this product

Product Information

Beautiful single page, large format maps showcasing the wealth of detail and craftsmanship in each map. A stunning new edition of the earliest atlas of the British Isles, Britain's Tudor Maps: County by County reproduces the maps of John Speed's 1611 collection The Theatre of Great Britaine in large format for the first time. Compiled from 1596, these richly detailed maps show the counties of Great Britain as they existed at the time, complete with a wealth of heraldic decoration, illustrations and royal portraits. With an introduction by the bestselling author Nigel Nicholson, each map is presented alongside a fascinating commentary by Alasdair Hawkyard, elaborating on both the topographical features and the social conditions of each county at the time, enabling an examination of how the physical and social landscape has been transformed over time.

A wonderful book
This is a very special book. The large size means that the smallest detail is seen. It is excellent value for money and the quality of colour and print is superb.
