Description: An original, antique, copper-engraved strip road map by John Senex published in London by John Bowles in 1757. This map was published in Senex’s ‘The Roads through England delineated or Ogilby’s Survey, Revised, Improved and Reduced to a Size portable for the Pocket’, and as the title suggests this is a much smaller version of the road map John Ogilby published in 1675 in his ‘Britannia’. The sheet measures approximately 230mm x 180mm and is printed on both sides with the detail of the plates as follows: Plate 1: Titled ‘The Road from London to Aberistwith ...’ , and depicting the route from London through Uxbridge, High Wycombe, Tetsworth and on to Oxford. Numerous other settlements are identified and some topographical features are included. Verso: A map of England & Wales titled, ‘A General View of Ogilby’s Direct and principal Cross Roads’, with a decorative title cartouche and small compass rose. Condition report: Good condition, some age toning as is to be expected and some light age spots mainly confined to the marginal areas. Overall, this is a very nice example. See photographs.
