Historical Maps of Ireland
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The first recorded maps of Ireland were drawn in 16th century. This was a particularly turbulent time -- the authority of the British kings was constantly undermined by native chieftains and the religious policy of the Tudors fluctuated between Catholicism and Protestantism. By law, (a law that is in effect to this day,) the British government had to have an accurate representation of layout and terrain of all of their possessions. These maps provide a fascinating and colorful insight into the changing landscape as towns grew and harbors were created. It is a tribute to the accuracy, detail and art of the cartographers of the time.
