David Loggan’s ‘Oxonia Illustrata’ published in Oxford 1675 is generally considered one of the finest English engraved topographical works of the seventeenth. Loggan (1635-1700?) was born in Danzig and came to England about 1653. By 1665 he was living near Oxford and in 1669 was appointed engraver to the University. In the year the ‘Oxonia’ was published he married. Often thought to have been printed at the Sheldonian they were in fact done at Leonard Lichfield’s house in Holywell. This engraving is of Saint Mary de Winton’s College now known as New College, Oxford. Griffiths ‘The Print in Stuart Britain 1603-1689’ pp. 201-03; Upcott Oxford 34; Wing L2838.
