A New and Accurate Map of the World Drawn truest Descriptions latest Discoveries (1626) is an elaborate double-hemisphere world map notable for its richly engraved borders and allegorical scenes. Created during the Age of Discovery, it synthesizes the latest geographic knowledge of the early seventeenth century, blending empirical observation with decorative celestial and terrestrial motifs. Its side panels depict the four seasons, while the upper and lower borders feature classical elements and explorers’ portraits. The work reflects both scientific ambition and the period’s fascination with global exploration.
John Speed (1552–1629) was one of England’s most influential early cartographers, best known for combining geographic detail with ornate visual design. Originally a tailor, he rose to prominence through his Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine and later world atlases that helped popularize cartographic knowledge among a wider audience. Speed’s works stand out for their blend of accuracy, narrative illustration, and decorative flourish, securing his place in the history of early modern mapmaking.
