Description
"CHARLES by the Grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith &c. To all Our Loving Subjects of what Degree Condition or Quality soever within our Kingdome & Dominions, Greeting. Whereas it hath been manifested unto Us That Our Trusty & Wellbeloved David Loggan Calcographer to Our University of Oxford hath not only with great Art, but at the expence of much time & charge delineated described & accurately engraven in Copper the Library, Theater, Publick-Schools Colleges & Halls & other Prospects of Our said University: which performance of his is to Our Great liking & satisfaction, so that We may expresse Our Approbation thereof, and give him all due & ample encouragement for the future, We doe hereby signify Our Royal Pleasure, Granting unto the said David Loggan the sole Priviledge of Printing the foresaid Delineations & Descriptions of the Library, Theater, Publick Schools, Colleges & Halls & other & Halls & other Prospects of our said University, & strictly charging, prohibiting and forbidding all our Subjects to copy or counterfeit any the Sculptures or Descriptions aforesaid either in great or small; or to import, buy, vend, utter or distribute any Copies or Exemplars of the same reprinted beyond the Seas within the terme of fifteen Yeares next ensuing the date of this our Licence & Prohibition without the Consent & Approbation of the said David Loggan his Heires, Executors & Assignes, as they & every of them so offending will answer the contrary at their utmost perills.
Whereof as well the Wardens & Company of Stationers of Our City of London the Farmers Commissioners & Officers of Our Customs as all other Our Officers and Ministers whom it may concern are to take particular notice that due Obedience by given to this Our Royal Command Given at Our Court at Whitehall the 17 day of March in the 25 yeare of Our Reigne 1672/3
By his Maties Command Arlington.David Loggan, 1634 - 1692. British engraver, draughtsman, and painter. He married in 1663 and moved two years later to Nuffield, Oxon, to avoid the plague. He was living in Oxford by 1669 when he was appointed 'public sculptor' to the university. He then drew and engraved all the Oxford colleges in bird's-eye views for his famous folio Oxonia illustrata, published in 1675, when he was made a British citizen. The book appeared in two editions, which included:- Engraved title-page, index of plates, privilege leaf, dedication to Charles II, preface leaf, double-page plan of Oxford and 39 copper-engraved views, 1 folding, 38 double-page. The rarer second edition was printed, unusually, on thicker paper; the plates in the second edition are easily recognized by adding a plate number in the bottom right-hand corner. Otherwise, they are unchanged from the first edition, and the strength of the impression is indicative of the comparatively small number of copies printed in 1675. That year, he settled in London, living in Leicester Fields, where he let rooms to aristocratic patrons, notably Sir Thomas Isham, and acted as their agent in acquiring works of art. From 1676 he was involved in preparing the folio.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
