John Ogilby, a renowned artist and cartographer, left an indelible mark on history with his intricate maps. One such masterpiece is the Map of Essex from 1678, a testament to his skill and attention to detail. Collaborating with William Morgan, Ogilby created a visual representation that captured the essence of this English county. But it was not just regional maps that showcased Ogilby's talent; he also crafted Old Road Strip Maps that guided travelers along various routes. Plate 2 depicts The Continuation of the Road from London to Aberystwyth, while Plate 1 showcases The Road from London to Aberystwyth itself. These meticulously designed strips provided invaluable assistance for those journeying through unfamiliar territories. Ogilby's expertise extended beyond Aberystwyth as well. Plates 6 and 5 illustrate The Continuation of the Road from London to Barwick and The Road from London to Barwick respectively, offering clear directions for travelers venturing northwards. Continuing his dedication towards mapping major routes in England, Plates 3 and 4 present The Continuation of the Road from London to Aberystwyth and The Road from London to Arundel respectively. These detailed strip maps ensured safe passage for countless individuals exploring these areas. Plates 7, 9, 11, and10 further exemplify Ogilby's commitment by showcasing additional continuations or roads leading towards destinations like Barwick and Bristol. Each map serves as a testament to his passion for accuracy in cartography. Yet John Ogilby's talents were not limited solely to mapmaking; he also displayed artistic prowess in other realms. An engraving titled "The Garden of Plenty" captures an awe-inspiring Triumphal Arch erected in Fleet Street near Whitefriars in London—a true spectacle brought vividly alive through Ogilby's skilled hand. John Ogilby remains an influential figure whose works continue to captivate and educate.
