Nederlands: Dit is de enige kaart van Groot-Britannië die door
Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) werd uitgegeven. Als bron voor deze kaart greep Blaeu terug op een kaart van
John Speed (1552-1629) uit 1611, maar dat neemt niet weg dat aan deze kopie veelal een groter belang wordt gehecht dan aan het origineel. De vignetten die aan weerszijden van de kaart zijn afgebeeld bevatten 14 miniaturen in de stijl van de belangrijke Nederlandse schilders van dit tijd: ze tonen 14 Saxische vorsten en hun bekering tot het christendom. De kaart werd gepubliceerd in verschillende atlassen van Joan Blaeu.; Aan weerszijden van de kaart 14 randfiguren in aparte kaders; links lokale Engelse figuren; rechts historische scenes.
English: This is the only map of Great-Britain published by
Joan Blaeu (1598-1673). The source of this map is a map by
John Speed (1552-1629) from 1611. Nevertheless, the importance of this copy is often greater than the original. The vignets on both sides of the map contain 14 miniatures in the style of the most important painters of the time: they portray 14 Saxonian sovereigns and their conversion to christianity. The map was published in several atlases by Blaeu.
