Williams. ( ie William Williams)........Oxonia
Depicta sive Collegiorum et Aularum in Ipclyta Academia Oxoniensi
Ichnographica & ScenographiThis
was published in 1733 following the earlier success of Loggans "Oxonia
Illustrata:.The book was produced with copper-engraved title-page,
dedication, index leaf and 63 double-page architectural plans and views
(1 folding). Large folio (52 x 39cm).These page thus lack the central
fold of the Illustrata and are found in near perfect condition
Williams was an architectural draughtsman and this is
reflected in the title page and stiffness of the engravings in his
Oxonia Depicta. The contents are similar to those in Loggan's Oxonia
Illustrata published over 50 years earlier, starting with a
double-prospect of the city of Oxford each with a numbered key, a plan
of the city after Agas' plan of 1588. There is a double prospect of the
interior of the Bodleian Library after Loggan and a number of
architectural plans of the colleges. More importantly the work includes
10 fine large engravings of the colleges of Magdalen, Corpus, Wadham,
St. Johns, Queens, New, Oriel, Trinity, Pembroke and Brasenose showing
how they were at the beginning of the 18th Century. They are in fact,
in many instances the only visual records of the buildings at tis time
in their history. The most impressive plate is the large folding-plate
depicting a composite view of the Clarendon Building, the Schools
Building and the Sheldonian Theatre, accompanied by figures in
University dress and flanked by the front elevations of several other
university buildings.
