Over the past four & a half centuries, the magnificent city of Oxford has been mapped for many reasons, few of which have involved the mere finding of one`s way through the streets. Maps were produced as part of schemes to defend Oxford from rampaging Roundheads, raging floodwaters, & the ravages of cholera; to plan the new canals & bridges of the eighteenth century & the new railways, tramways & suburbs of the nineteenth; to determine & display changes in the city`s political stature under the Reform Acts of 1832 & 1867; to aid police enforcement of the laws against homosexuality; & even to plan a Soviet ground assault on the heart of the British motor industry. Given its status as a world centre of drama, poetry, literature, music, architecture, & scientific experimentation, & sometime royal capital, it is unsurprising that Oxford was the first British town to be included in map form in a tourist guidebook, as early as 1762, & one of just two inland towns mapped by French invasion planners in the Seven Years` War. For the first time, this lavishly illustrated volume brings together sixty of the most remarkable maps & views of the area that have been made by friend & foe since 1575. ...

Oxfordshire an original antique map by G. Cole / J. Roper published in London, 1810-1843. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 17 x 23 cm, overall mounted size 32.5 x 38.5 cm. This detailed map of Oxfordshire is from Dugdale's England & Wales Delineated. The map was drawn by G. Cole & engraved by John Roper for publication first in The Beauties Of England & Wales, issued in parts, from c.1804.
