About the book

King Henry's Map of the British Isles presents the remarkable early-sixteenth-century cartographic representation associated with the reign of Henry VIII. Created in an age of expanding royal administration, military planning and maritime ambition, the map records the geography of Britain through the visual conventions of Tudor cartography and offers insight into how the kingdom understood and represented its own territory.
