Rare, unusual and curious Oxford With the Oxford Book Fair just around the corner we have put together a catalogue of rare, unusual and curious Oxford prints, maps and books. The collection of over two hundred pieces, some new acquisitions and some overlooked items, not only portray our historic city but many of the artworks were made and published within the city walls as well.

Highlights include a set of proof etchings for College Life. A Series of Original Etchings, by Edward Bradley, B.A, a complete bound set of John Baptist Malchair’s XII Views consisting cheirly of the Environs of Oxford, alongside two soft-ground etchings by Malchair’s student, the young music prodigy, William Crotch.

Although not as comprehensive as our previous Oxford Oddities catalogue of 2010, this collection still provides a rare opportunity to view and purchase seldom seen and in some cases previously uncatalogued material depicting Town and Gown.

The fire here described by text and illustration is supposed to have started around midnight on Friday, March 3rd, 1809 from uncertain sources and had it not been for such a calm night it may well have spread into the Hall and the Gate of Tom Tower. The fire was extinguished through the combined efforts of the Christ Church fire crew and those from other colleges. One of the main problems occuring after the fire was the possible theft of furniture, books, and valuables removed for safety from some of the endangered rooms and as a result the property was guarded by the Regiment of Oxford Loyal Volunteers.

The fortifications of ditch, rampart, palisade and gates with drawbridges were built from St. Giles’Church in the north to Folly Bridge in the south and from Magdalen Bridge in the east to St. Thomas’s Church in the west. Barriers were built in the Thames, whose waters, as well as those of the Cherwell were made to flood the surrounding meadows. To expedite these works, in the summer of 1643 all members of the University between the ages of 16 and 60 were recruited as labourers for one day a week or fined 1s.

Women were also called upon to help and were liable to fines if they did not appear or send a substitute.

242. To the Right Reverend Father in God John by divine permission Ld. Bishop of OXON The Map of Oxfordshire being his Lordship’s Diocess newley delineated, and after a new manner, with all imaginable Reverence is humbly dedicated by R.P.L.L.D. Copper engraved with hand colour Burghers, Michael 1677 495 x 478 mm framed This large copperplate map is from Robert Plot's The Natural History of Oxfordshire…

Dr. Plot, a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford and the first keeper of the Ashmolean, planned to produce a series of county histories, but only two materialized - Oxfordshire and Staffordshire. The map, rarely in perfect condition, was engraved by Michael Burghers, who assisted in the engraving of David Loggan's Oxonia Illustrata. The Plot map is the most decorative map of the county, with a boarder of 172 coast of arms, including the coats of arms of 148 the county's gentry, each armorial being keyed to a number residence on the map. The top boarder contains the coats of arms of the eighteen Oxford colleges, the City, the University, and four county towns. The map is similar in scale to, but less accurate than Robert Morden's map which it pre-dates by nineteen years. There are no hundreds illustrated, but rivers, towns, villages, and churches are clearly delineated.

Copper engraved Davis, Richard

London, Published by J.Cary for R.Davis, of Lewknor Oxfordshire. Aug.st 1 1797.

Each sheet 640 x 460 mm unmounted Surveyed by Richard Davis and engraved by John Cary on 16 sheets on a scale of 2 inches to 1 mile, plus a single-sheet map of the whole county engraved by Cary on a scale of 3/4 inch to 1 mile to serve as a key to the large-scale map. Bound in marbled folio. A fine example of the most important map of Oxfordshire.

John Cary, the engraver, was fast establishing a reputation as one of the foremost map-makers of his day, skilled in engraving, globe-making and publishing. He was described by the cartobibliographer Sir George Frodham, as the most representative, able and prolific English cartographer.

Davis continued as a land surveyor until his death in 1814, but the present survey, for which he received 50 guineas from the Society of Arts, was his only contribution to English county cartography.

Jefferys' fine 32 panel folding map of Oxfordshire of 1767 was succeeded in 1797 by the first map of the County on a scale of 2 inches to 1 mile, engraved by Cary from a survey by Richard Davis, a land surveyor from Lewknor in Oxfordshire. Davis's name had first appeared some years earlier in 1792 when he advertised in Jackson's Oxford Journal offering services to survey or plan estates or assist in the selling or letting of houses. In the following years he was especially active in Oxfordshire and the city of Oxford where the University proved a rewarding source of commissions.

Condition: Excellent condition throughout. Binding worn at edges and slightly split to bottom of spine.

In 1790 Davis advertised his intention to publish in 1792 a survey of Oxfordshire on a scale of 1 inches to 1 mile, this scale being specifically chosen to complement the 18-sheet map of Berkshire by John Rocque who had held the post of Topographer to His Majesty, a post to which Davis himself was appointed in1786. Subscriptions came slowly however, and it was not until 1797 that the Oxfordshire survey was finally published on 16 sheets at £3 10s 6d including full wash colour and a key map. All subscribers' copies were numbered on the title sheet and individually signed by Davis himself; the highest recorded serial number of 159 suggesting a total printing of less than 200 copies, this particular impression is numbered 38. Of particular interest is the plan of the University and City of Oxford, similar in scale and ichnographical detail to the plan of the city by Isaac Taylor in 1751 but with some updating, notably the intersection of the Oxford Canal, which opened in 1790.

The cartographical detail is immense, well worthy of an estate surveyor of Davis's reputation, and takes full advantage of the larger scale. In the villages and rural areas almost every house and farm is shown with its land, and even in the towns there is great effort made to make them ichnographically correct. The road system is extensive; from major roads with their distances from Oxford and London, and between the major towns, down to minor roads and bridle paths. Further detail includes hills and woods, heaths, parks and commons, and mills, churches and farms, whilst gentlemen's seats and large houses are shown in profusion.

The boundaries of the city of Oxford extend from Folly Bridge to St.Giles and from Botley to St.Clements with the emptiness of Cowley Common separating the village of Cowley from the City.
