PENBROK Comitat.

This is a map of Pembrokeshire by Christopher Saxton dating from 1578. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. This map is actually a proof copy of one which forms part of Christopher Saxton’s Atlas of England and Wales. This atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750. During the reign of Elizabeth I, map use became more common, with many government matters referring to increasingly accurate maps with consistent scales and symbols, made possible by advances in surveying techniques. Illustrating the increasing use of maps in government matters, Lord Burghley, who had been determined to have England and Wales mapped in detail from the 1550s, selected the cartographer Christopher Saxton to produce a detailed and consistent survey of the country. The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford, Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. Burghley has annotated this map, adding place names and a dotted line marking the route from Manernowen on the coast to Cardigan. At this time England was under threat of invasion from Catholic Spain, a threat which culminated in the events of the Spanish Armada. Defence of the realm depended on a good geographic and topographic knowledge, explaining Burghley's use of maps and his annotation of them, particularly at coastal locations. The map was engraved by one of a team of seven English and Flemish engravers employed to produce the copper plates for the atlas, although the individual engraver is not noted. Saxton, Christopher William Cecil, Lord Burghley

A Coloured Map of Offalia, now forming King's and Queen's Counties

This is a map the counties of Leix and Offaly in Ireland and records the area around the time of the time of the English plantation scheme. This scheme involved the division of the counties of Donegal, Londonderry, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh and Cavan into plots of land to be given to English and Scottish settlers and Irish who agreed to plant and conform to Protestantism. The cartographer of this map is unknown but it is thought to have been produced in around 1565. Leix and Offaly had been shired by the Earl of Sussex in 1557 and this map was made in connection with the plantations. Settlements are indicated by generalized symbols of buildings. The relief of the land is indicated by hills drawn in perspective and coloured brown, woodland is shown by a representation of tree tops in green, other land is coloured yellow. This map is interesting in that it includes the names of English settlers and indicates by dotted lines the pathways through the woodland and bogs.
