EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic chart that unveils the intricate sea coast of England and Wales. Taken from "A Compleat Sett of Mapps of England and Wales in General" published in 1724, this plate by Thomas Badeslade offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The map, rendered with pen and ink as well as watercolor on paper, is an exquisite example of Badeslade's skillful craftsmanship. It depicts not only the coastline but also various counties, providing a comprehensive overview of the British Isles' geography. The English Channel, German Ocean, and Irish Sea are prominently featured, highlighting their significance to maritime trade and navigation. Housed at the Yale Center for British Art within the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection in the United States, this piece holds immense historical value. Its inclusion in such a prestigious collection speaks to its importance as both an artistic creation and a valuable resource for understanding past landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when maps were meticulously hand-drawn works of art rather than digital renderings. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with exploration and discovery while honoring centuries-old traditions in cartography.
