(1552-1629)
One of the most famous of English mapmakers, the historian John Speed decided in 1611 to publish a volume of maps to accompany his History of Great Britain. The maps were instantly popular, running to seven editions by 1676. Sudbury and Humble contracted Jodocus Hondius to engrave the plates in Amsterdam. From 1605 to 1610 Speed sent the information to Hondius, allowing Hondius to compose these famous maps.
