John Speed's "A New and Accurate Map of the World" is a notable map created by the English cartographer John Speed. John Speed (1552-1629) was one of the most famous mapmakers of the 17th century, known for his detailed and decorative maps.

Speed's "A New and Accurate Map of the World" was originally published in 1626 as part of his renowned atlas, "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine." The map provided a comprehensive view of the world as known at that time, based on the geographical knowledge and exploration of the era.

The map featured both hemispheres and showcased the continents, oceans, major rivers, mountain ranges, and some cities. It depicted the known parts of the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Speed's map also included decorative elements such as elaborate cartouches, illustrations of sea monsters, and vignettes representing cultural and historical scenes.

It's important to note that the accuracy of maps from this period, including Speed's, can vary due to limited knowledge of certain regions and inaccuracies in measurements and representations. However, these maps were influential in disseminating geographic knowledge and shaping perceptions of the world during that time.
