EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Speed's map of Rutland, dating back to 1611. Extracted from the renowned "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" this image offers a glimpse into the exact geography of England during that era. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries, this genuine 400-year-old map is a testament to both its historical significance and enduring beauty. Despite its age, the wear and tear evident on the map only adds to its charm and authenticity. The binding in the middle serves as a tangible reminder of how these maps were once cherished possessions, carefully stored within tightly bound volumes. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when cartography was still evolving and exploration was at its peak. John Speed's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every inch of this map. From shires to hundreds, cities to shire towns, he masterfully captures the essence of Rutland's landscape with precision and accuracy. This snapshot allows us to appreciate not only his skill as a cartographer but also provides valuable insights into England's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Sheffield City Archives, let us marvel at how far our understanding of geography has come since 1611 while simultaneously cherishing these remnants from centuries gone by.
