EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning map print, titled "Map of the City of London and the Boroughs of Southwark and Bermondsey," is a testament to the cartographic prowess of John Ogilby (1600-1676), a Scottish polymath who made significant contributions to the fields of cartography, translating, and impresarial activities during the 17th century. Ogilby, also known by the variant spellings Ogelby and Oglivie, is best remembered for publishing the first British road atlas in 1675. However, this map of London, created in 1676, showcases his exceptional skill as a mapmaker and draughtsman. The intricate detailing of the map is evident in the depiction of the city's streets, buildings, and topography, as well as the winding Thames River and its surrounding docks. The map also highlights the Boroughs of Southwark and Bermondsey, which were important commercial and industrial areas during the 17th century. Ogilby's meticulous attention to detail is further demonstrated by the inclusion of various points of interest, such as churches, schools, and markets. This map is a captivating representation of London during the 1670s and offers a unique glimpse into the city's history. The richly detailed illustrations and elegant design make this a valuable addition to any collection of historical maps or London memorabilia.
