Our cartographers are renowned for their accurate and beautifully detailed maps. We are now offering our most popular and unique maps in high-quality framed editions. From the archives of National Geographic comes a one-of-a-kind resource for any true Shakespeare enthusiast. Shakespeare's Britain is based on John Speed's map, ''The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland'', from his 1611 atlas, ''Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine.'' The supplement to National Geographic Magazine was first published in our May, 1965 issue.

Steeped in the history of the era, the map takes its reader back to the time of Shakespeare with a blend of classic cartography and artistry. Shakespeare's Britain is infused with Symbols and icons that show: Settings of the plays; Towns, abbeys, and churches; Castles and battlefields; Forests and heaths. Insets include a panoramic view of Shakespeare's London and an enlarged map of Stratford on Avon. Also included is a table that shows ''Shakespeare's Plays with British Settings,'' which lists the period of action in each play and the reign of the kings.
