David Loggan
David Loggan’s parents were English and Scottish. He studied engraving in Danzig with Willem Hondius and moved to London in the late 1650s, producing the engraved title page for the folio Book of Common Prayer (1662). After marrying in 1663, Loggan moved to Nuffield, Oxfordshire, in 1665 to avoid the Plague and was in 1668–69 appointed as a public sculptor to the nearby University of Oxford, having been commissioned to produce bird’s-eye views of all the Oxford Colleges. He lived in Holywell Street as he did this. Oxonia illustrata was published in 1675, with the help of Robert White. Following its completion, Loggan commenced work on his equivalent work for Cambridge, Cantabrigia Illustrata, which was finally published in 1690 when he was made engraver at Cambridge University.

- View of Pisaro, Italy: A 16th Century Hand-colored Map by Braun & HogenbergBy Franz HogenbergLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a 16th century original hand-colored copperplate engraved map of View of Pezaro (Pisaro), Italy entitled "Pisaurum vulgo Pezaro" by Georg Braun & Franz Hogenberg, from their famous city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum", published in Augsberg, Germany in 1575. The map depicts a view of Pesaro, Italy from the west looking over the town to the Adriatic Sea. The River Foglia flows into the Adriatic in the foreground. The only identifiable building is the cathedral of San Domenico, which rises above the other roofs with its tall spire. Two women, dressed in styles of the 16th century are in conversation on a hill in the foreground on the left. Pesaro is in the province of Pesaro and Urbino and lies on the Adriatic and east of Florence. The city, which was founded by the Etruscans and named Pisaurum by the Romans, belonged from AD 754 onwards to the Papal States, and after 1285 was controlled by the princely families of Malatesta, Sforza and della Rovere. Today it is the capital of the province of Pesaro and Urbino and has a population of about 92,000. Pesaro's most famous resident, composer Gioacchino Rossini, was born here in 1792. The following is an English translation of an excerpt from Braun's description of the city: "We believe that the astonishingly short life of the inhabitants of Pesaro comes not only from the insalubrious air, but also from the great quantity of delectable and delicious fruits which they consume to excess. For this causes the production in their bodies of evil humours, which then lead to incurably fatal diseases. The area around the city is most charming and well planted with vineyards, fig trees, olive trees and other fruit-bearing trees."
