Painting Description
"The Road From Glocester To Montgomery, Plate 71" is a notable work by John Ogilby, an eminent 17th-century Scottish cartographer, publisher, and geographer. This plate is part of Ogilby's seminal work, "Britannia," published in 1675, which is widely regarded as the first road atlas of England and Wales. "Britannia" was groundbreaking in its detailed and systematic approach to mapping the roadways, providing a comprehensive guide for travelers of the time.
Plate 71 specifically charts the route from Gloucester (spelled "Glocester" in the period's orthography) to Montgomery, a journey that traverses the picturesque landscapes of the English and Welsh borderlands. The map is meticulously detailed, showcasing the road's course through various towns and landmarks, complete with distances measured in miles. Ogilby's work is distinguished by its use of the strip map format, a novel approach that presented the route in a series of linear segments, making it easier for travelers to follow their journey step-by-step.
Ogilby's maps were not only practical tools but also works of art, adorned with decorative elements such as cartouches, compass roses, and illustrations of notable buildings and natural features encountered along the way. The Road From Glocester To Montgomery, Plate 71, exemplifies this blend of utility and aesthetics, reflecting Ogilby's dual talents as a cartographer and artist.
The publication of "Britannia" marked a significant advancement in cartography and travel literature, influencing subsequent generations of mapmakers and travelers. Ogilby's meticulous attention to detail and innovative presentation set new standards for accuracy and usability in road mapping. Today, "The Road From Glocester To Montgomery, Plate 71" remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into 17th-century travel, geography, and cartographic techniques.
