The Cartographer's Annual Vol 1

John Speed City Style Example

February ’07

The February '07 issue of the Cartographer's Annual provides a style to emulate the famous town and city maps of British cartographer John Speed (1542-1629). As a historian trying to document the settlement of his homeland, he was the first to map many of the British isles' counties and towns and his legacy endures today in a large number of beautiful prints.
