Britannia Volume the First Or, An Illustration Of… di John Ogilby
A glorious full-colour 1930s reproduction of Ogilby's ingenious road maps. These strip maps of the routes between all the major settlements of England and Wales were importnat precursors of modern UK mapping. Ogilby formalised the standard mile and the 1-inch-to1-mile scale adopted by the Ordnance Survey. His dedication to King Charles is almost opaque in its floridity but there is a fascinating description of his surveying techniques in the rest of the foreword.
Essential reference for the study of the Archaeology of restoration London or Medieval London (the original having been written shortly after the great fire). Available at the Guildhall Library in London or online at http://www.harrymargary.com/product_details.asp?id=2
