About the Item

Antique map titled 'The Road from London to St. Davids in com: Pembroke (..)'. A strip map of the road from London to Bensington. The map is ornamented with numerous compass roses, and a decorative title cartouche. Originates from Ogilby's 'Britannia', the first road atlas of England Wales, first published in 1675. John Ogilby, born in Edinburgh in 1600, was a man of many parts, his various vocations included dancing instructor, tutor, theatre owner, translator, poet, printer, historian and mapmaker. He did not embark on his last profession until he was over sixty years of age but in the short time before his death in 1675 he achieved lasting fame with his great work on the English roads, 'Britannia', published the year he died. It proved to be a milestone in English cartography, the first real step forward since the publication of Saxton's atlas in 1579.
