The "City Plan of Oxford" by Robert Syer Hoggar, crafted in 1850, is a captivating glimpse into the historic heart of one of England's most renowned cities. This map, produced for the Oxford Paving Commissioners' sanitary inquiry of 1851, is not just a navigational tool but a detailed portrait of mid-19th-century urban life. With its meticulous depiction of Oxford's principal buildings, colleges and clearly marked county and parish boundaries, it offers a window into the architectural and civic landscape of the time. The map's precision and elegance reflect Hoggar's expertise as an associate of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Robert Syer Hoggar's work is a testament to the art and science of cartography in the 19th century. His association with the Institution of Civil Engineers underscores his commitment to accuracy and detail, making this map an invaluable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike. Engraved by Thos. Jones, the map is a masterpiece of design, showcasing the intricate street patterns and significant landmarks that define Oxford. Hoggar's dedication to his craft is evident in every line and contour, capturing the essence of a city steeped in history and tradition.
Oxford, with its rich tapestry of neighborhoods and landmarks, comes alive through Hoggar's map. The depiction of areas such as St. Giles' and Cornmarket Street reveals the vibrant urban fabric of the city. Each street and building is carefully rendered, offering insights into the daily life and social structure of the time. The map's inclusion of significant thoroughfares like High Street and Magdalen Street highlights the bustling commercial and academic activities that have long been the city's hallmark.
The map also provides a fascinating look at Oxford's natural and built environment. The presence of the River Thames, winding its way through the city, adds a dynamic element to the urban landscape. The careful marking of parks and open spaces reflects the city's commitment to green areas amidst its architectural splendor. This balance between nature and urbanity is a defining feature of Oxford, and Hoggar's map captures it with remarkable clarity and beauty.
In essence, the "City Plan of Oxford" is more than just a map; it is a historical document that captures the spirit of a city at a pivotal moment in its development. Its detailed portrayal of Oxford's streets, buildings, and boundaries offers a unique perspective on the city's evolution and its enduring legacy. For collectors and historians, this map is a treasure trove of information and a testament to the artistry and precision of 19th-century cartography.

If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.
Imprimo y enmarco mapas y obras de arte en 23 países alrededor del mundo. Esto significa que tu pedido se fabricará localmente, lo que reduce el tiempo de entrega y asegura que no se dañe durante el envío. Nunca pagarás aranceles de aduana o impuestos de importación, y pondremos menos CO2 en el aire.
Todos mis mapas y impresiones artísticas están bien empaquetados y enviados en un tubo resistente si no están enmarcados, o rodeados de espuma si están enmarcados.
Intento enviar todos los pedidos dentro de 1 o 2 días después de recibir tu pedido, aunque algunos productos (como mascarillas, tazas y bolsas de tela) pueden tardar más en fabricarse.

La entrega al día siguiente también está disponible en algunos países (EE. UU., Reino Unido, Singapur, EAU), pero por favor intenta hacer tu pedido temprano en el día para que podamos enviarlo a tiempo.
Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Algunos de mis mapas antiguos ahora están disponibles como lienzos enmarcados. Por favor, contáctame si deseas pedir un tamaño que no está disponible en mi tienda.
Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
