Britannia Depicta

Britannia Depicta or Ogilby improv'd was an illustrated road atlas for Britain.

It was printed in numerous editions over many decades from 1720 into the 19th century and updated with engravings by many artisans who worked from drawings of other artists.

It augmented John Ogilby's original with additional historical and heraldic detail.

Cadell & Davies published its own editions of the Britannia Depicta atlas over many years, with accompanying descriptions by Samuel Lysons.

[4] Landscapes by Joseph Farington were included in Cadell and Davies' six-volume "modernisation" of the illustrated atlas.
