Background: During the course of his career as an engraver and publisher
John Senex produced a vast array of cartography, from maps of the world and the continents
 as well as individual country maps of phenomenal detail. But it is for his road maps that he is best known, to wit
 1719 saw his small version of John Ogilby's Britannia: a series of superb strip maps, larger than Owen & Bowen's
 smaller than Thomas Gardner's. It ran through many editions and is widely collected.
