Ogilby

    These hand-colored copperplate engraved maps were engraved and published by Thomas Gardner, London, 1719. Each map has a dedication. They were printed by J. Tonson and J. Watts. These charming maps, so sought after, in both their larger double folio size as well as this smaller version, are available through us for a fraction of the cost of the double folio size.  The larger version was originally prepared by John Ogilby (1600-1676), a Scotsman and Royal Cosmographer (1671).  He compiled the Britannia, 1675, the first book of road maps to use the standard mile of 1,760 yards.  Ogilby maps are unique, with their ribbons tracing the road system between towns. The image area on these maps measures 6-1/2 in. high 10-1/2 in. wide, with a centerfold, as published.
