The Road from Oxford to Chichester by John Ogilby, c. 1675 - This is a fine original antique map from Britannia, the first British road atlas by John Ogilby, published in 1675. The map charts the road between Oxford and Chichester, two important towns in southern England, and would have served as an invaluable travel guide for those journeying through the British countryside in the 17th and 18th centuries. Ogilby's maps were famous for their innovative design and for offering a practical means of navigation at a time when travel was often slow and perilous.
