EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - an engraved map of Hantshire, created by the renowned Jodocus Hondius in the late 16th century. Taken from John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, this hand-coloured copper engraving is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. The intricate details within this map transport us back to a bygone era, allowing us to explore the county's towns and cities with awe and fascination. From Winchester, with its majestic cathedral towering over the cityscape, to the charming coastal towns dotted along the British Sea, every feature is meticulously depicted. Adorned with elegant cartouches and embellished coat of arms, this map not only serves as a geographical representation but also as a visual narrative of Hampshire's rich heritage. It offers glimpses into centuries-old traditions and cultural significance that have shaped this region. As we admire this extraordinary work of art captured in print form, we are reminded that it is more than just an image; it is a gateway to understanding our past. Its presence in private collections today ensures that future generations can appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical importance for years to come.
