"[Lot of 18 - English Strip Road Maps]",

This large lot of strip road maps are based upon the surveys contained in John Ogilby's Brittania, first published in 1675. This edition is slightly reduced, but larger than the editions by Thomas Gardner (1719), John Senex (1720), and Bowen & Owen (1720), which were more conducive for the traveler.
