EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Speed's map of Pembrokeshire, dating back to the year 1611. Extracted from his renowned work, "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" this image provides a glimpse into the precise geography of England, Scotland, Ireland, and their surrounding islands during that era. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' collection (914.2 SQ), this genuine 400-year-old map offers a fascinating historical perspective. Despite its age, the photograph reveals some signs of wear and tear due to time's passage. The binding in the middle serves as a reminder that this remarkable artifact was once part of a tightly bound volume—perhaps cherished by scholars or avid cartography enthusiasts who sought knowledge about these lands centuries ago. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its immense historical significance. This particular snapshot allows us to travel through time and witness how our understanding of geographical boundaries has evolved over four centuries
