EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning manuscript map of Ireland, created in 1797 by the Reverend D. A. Beaufort, offers a unique glimpse into the civil and ecclesiastical landscape of the country during that time period. Measuring 53x88 cm, this intricate map is housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK.
What sets this map apart is its focus on the Church of England, with Catholic churches being completely disregarded. This intentional omission sheds light on the religious dynamics of Ireland in the late 18th century.
The dedication to King George III adds a regal touch to the map, with a cartouche featuring cherubs surrounded by Irish produce and a cameo of George III himself. In the background, a Royal Naval ship sails past as a church undergoes construction and an iconic Irish round tower stands tall against a mountainous backdrop.
Overall, this map not only serves as a valuable historical document but also as a work of art with its vibrant colors and detailed illustrations. It captures both the geographical features of Ireland and the religious divisions that were prevalent at that time.
