EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the East part of Ulster, dating back to c.1594-1603 and laid on linen, offers a glimpse into the strategic importance of this region during that time period. The map was created by an unknown artist in the 16th century, most likely after the start of the Nine Years Rebellion.
The intricate details on this map were meant to showcase to Queen Elizabeth I the significance of establishing possession of Strangford Lough and basing the Principal Officer of Munsters there. References are made to Sir John de Courcy's invasion of Ulster from the Isle of Man in the 13th century, adding historical context to this piece.
With pictorial decorations including ships, John de Courcy himself, a merman, and fish scattered throughout, this map is not only informative but also visually stunning. The scale is noted in both English and Irish miles while pointing North at 90 degrees.
Housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this print serves as a valuable artifact from a pivotal period in history. Its detailed craftsmanship and historical significance make it a true work of art worth admiring for generations to come.
