Norden, JohnД®SSEXIAE COMITAT f.36 This is a map of Essex by Christopher Saxton which dates from 1576. The Elizabethan coat of arms, appears to the left and sea monsters and ships provide decoration. The depiction of roads and the orientation grid are derived from German prototypes. As a further tool in this endeavour the map is squared off with an Alpha numeric border. This development is significant as it shows the progression from a presentation of the county, to a means to practically navigate it. Roads are shown in beige, clearly linking the settlements, which are shown pictorially and highlighted with a red dot. The main difference however between this and the Saxton maps is that this includes the road network and indicates the homes of the leading aristocracy and gentry. This map of Essex is derived from SaxtonвЂ™s work, in that relief is shown pictorially by small hill symbols, woodland and parks are shown by small trees, the later with a fence surrounding and surrounding counties are left blank. The volume that this map is from was meant for presentation to the Queen in the hope of securing her financial support for the project.

Under ElizabethвЂ™s patronage the first, mostly accurate and detailed image of Britain was recorded by Christopher Saxton in his atlas of 1579.

It is dedicated to Elizabeth I, in whose reign the use of maps became more common.

The map forms part of an omnibus volume of Norden's intended series of county guides, the Speculum Britanniae, which was never completed.
