Description
This eye-catching map, formerly part of a larger sheet containing four boxes, rather than two, was published in London by George Humball in 1610. It was created by the famous English cartographer John Speed but is based largely off an earlier image supplied by the Dutch mapmaker Jocodus Hondius.
The left panel shows the Farne Islands, off the northeast coast of Northumberland in England. The tower, freshwater springs, and a fish house are all labeled, in addition to Barnbrough Castle on the mainland. The right panel shows the Channel Island of Jersey, off the French coast of Normandy. Various features are displayed pictorially and labeled, including St. Hilary’s Bed and the castle at Mount Orguil.
