published London, Georgii Bishop &
Ioannis Norton, 1607-37. 1610 Size 26.5
x 32 cm. Christopher Saxton,
(c.1543-1610/1611) b. near Dunningley,
West Yorkshire. Estate Surveyor and
Draughtsmen, apprenticed to the cleric
and cartographer John Rudd. Under his
tutelage Saxton developed the skills to
become the man now known as 'the father
of English cartography'. Saxton carried
out an extensive topographical survey
of England and Wales, 1573-1578 under
the patronage of Thomas Seckford. 34
county maps based on the surveys were
engraved between 1574 and 1578 by Remy
Hogenberg, Lenaert Terwoort, Cornelis
de Hooghe, Augustine Ryther, Francis
Scatte, and Nicholas Reynolds, forming
the first atlas of England and Wales.
The work was the basis for many later
maps. This has Latin text to
verso
This map is
from the series of maps included
William Camden's Britannia. First
published in 1586 with only a general
map, the later editions of Camden's
Britannia included maps engraved by
William Kip and William Hole. These
maps were reduced copies of the maps by
Saxton and Norden. The sixth edition of
Camden's Britiannia, published in 1607
contained these maps. This atlas s
contained the first separate
representations of many counties.

Ogilby, born 1600 near Edinburgh, died
1676, had an extremely versatile
career, being a bookseller, translator,
printer, dancing master, theatre owner,
master of the King's Revels, and
finally a geographer. His claim to fame
rests most securely on his last
accomplishment. He made the first
survey of the roads of England and
Wales, the results being published in a
folio volume entitled Britannia, Vol.
1.....a Geographical and Historical
Description of the Principal Roads
thereof, 1675. This had 100
copper-plates showing the roads in
continuous strip form, six or seven to
a plate, with a decorative heading
enclosing the title. Ogilby was the
first to adopt the statute mile of
1,760 yards. Before Ogilby different
scales were used in different parts of
the country......he revolutionised the
printed map: from his time, roads began
to be inserted on the county maps, and
this soon became an established
