This attractive map from Gardner's guide is very similar to Ogilby's road maps in style and decoration, but on a reduced scale. The road begins at Oxford and heads southwest winding its way through small villages, forests, hills and parks until it reaches Bristol about 67 miles away. The decorative chart is engraved on six scroll-like panels each with a compass rose to orient the traveler.
