Old MONMOUTHSHIRE map John Speed 1611 Monmouth Abergavenny Chepstow

This classic piece was produced by John Speed the best known mapmaker of the Stuart period. It is a wonderful example of a decorative county map that was produced over 400 years since. This is an antique reproduction of the original hand coloured map and therefore each original map is in itself unique.

The Counties of Britain: A Tudor Atlas had the following to say of Sussex. "Divided between the mountains in the north, the uplands of the central district and the low lying coastal plains, Monmouthshire was a predominantly farming county. Cattle and sheep grazed its hill and pasture, and wheat, barley, oats and rye were cultivated in its valleys and plains. There was much diary farming and flannel production, while several towns had flourishing tanneries."

This is a highly sought after work and is sure to form an interesting conversation piece to any living room. This piece looks stunning mounted - see our framed edition!
