EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The road from the city of Salisbury to Campden" takes us on a visual journey through time. Created by John Ogilby in 1675 as part of his renowned work Britannia, this print offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the English countryside. The scene depicts a meticulously detailed map, beautifully etched onto paper. The road stretches out before our eyes, winding its way from the bustling city of Salisbury to the charming town of Chipping Campden. Every twist and turn is carefully marked with precision and accuracy. As we study this artwork, we are transported back to an era when travel was slow-paced and arduous. We can almost imagine ourselves traversing these ancient roads, passing through picturesque villages and rolling hillsides. Ogilby's Britannia was not just a mere map; it was a testament to his dedication as a cartographer. The scroll-like composition showcases his mastery in capturing every minute detail necessary for travelers seeking safe passage across Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. A compass adorns one corner of the print, reminding us that navigation was key during those times. It serves as both a practical tool for travelers and an emblematic symbol representing exploration and discovery. This particular print is held within a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation thanks to Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanart. com. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only Ogilby's skill but also provides insight into historical
