In the UK we have #Shires and in a previous career I did some work on this tapestry from the 1590s, which is a map of Herefordshire & Worcestershire. It had been protected from the light for 100s of years, hence the bright colours. For a transliteration of the poem see Alt text. #Tapestry #Elizabethan #HistoricTextiles

Depictions of hares on textiles of this period are not entirely common, which makes it all the more surprising how rich in symbolism these creatures were.
