Notes

John Ogilby's famous strip road maps were the first engraved sheets to map England's roads. They combine a decorative title cartouche with the detailed and practical arrangement of sections or strip, in this case six strips from London in the lower left corner of the map, though Rochester and Canterbury to Dover.
