ANDOVER to AMESBURY to WARMINSTER - Owen & Bowen Antique Strip Road Map, 1753. MAP DESCRIPTION : Original Strip Road Map from the 4th edition of Owen & Bowen's Britannica Depicta , or Ogilby Revis'd. An original 18th century copperplate Strip Road Map, with later hand colouring. The first road maps of England and Wales appeared in 1675 with the publishing of John Ogilby's Britannia . This was however too big for general use by travellers, and so in 1720 the first edition of Britannia Depicta was published by Thomas Bowles. The map was engraved by Emanuel Bowen, whilst the notes on each map were compiled by John Owen. This sheet map has been sourced from a dis-bounded copy of the 4th edition.
