John Speed was one of England’s most prominent early cartographers, best known for his richly illustrated maps that combined geographic detail with decorative artistry. Although better known for his county maps of Great Britain, his world map stands as a significant example of early 17th-century English cartography. Speed’s work was influenced by Dutch and Flemish mapmakers, but he brought a uniquely English perspective to his atlases, contributing to the growing national pride during the age of exploration.
This 1626 map is a double-hemisphere world map, surrounded by allegorical figures representing the four elements and portraits of famous explorers like Drake and Magellan. It reflects the geographical understanding of the early 17th century, showing incomplete coastlines, speculative continents such as Terra Australis Incognita, and early renderings of North America and the Pacific. The map was included in Speed’s A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World, and is celebrated for both its artistic richness and historical importance.
