To the King of Spain; Your Lordships request

Ireland as it was seen by Baptista Boazio's map Irelandiae. Boazio was a mapmaker-surveyor for Robert Deveraux, Earl of Essex, Elizabeth's ill-fated pacifier of Ireland. Boazio included his own flourishes, Babtiste's Rock and Elstrake's Isle, named after his engraver Renold Elstrake, off the North coast. The map was first published in London in 1599, with revisions in 1606. Courtesy Trinity Maps Library
