JOHN OGILBY PRODUCED THE GROUND BREAKING WORK "BRITANNIA" IN 1675 SHOWING THE ROADS OF BRITAIN ON A HUNDRED PLATES.
THIS WAS A HEAVY WORK THAT WAS LATER PRODUCED AT A SMALLER SCALE SO THAT IT COULD BE TAKEN IN A HORSEMAN'S POCKET OR IN A CARRIAGE BY SEVERAL CARTOGRAPHERS INCLUDING SENEX AND BOWEN. HOWEVER THE FIRST WAS BY THOMAS GARDNER IN 1719. THIS WAS A STRAIGHT COPY OF THE OGILBY PLATES INCLUDING A DOT FOR EVERY FURLONG. THE SCALE IS ABOUT 2.22 MILES TO AN INCH INSTEAD OF OGILBY'S 1 MILE TO AN INCH. THE TITLE PANEL IS THE SAME DESIGN AS IN OGILBY WITH THE ADDITION OF DEDICATIONS ON SOME SHEETS
THIS COPPER ENGRAVED MAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH HAND COLOUR. THERE IS A CENTREFOLD CREASE AS PUBLISHED AND A LITTLE AGE TONING.
THE MAP MEASURES APPROX 11.5 x 7.25 ins (29 x 18.5 cms) INCLUDING MARGINS.
