A plan of Oxford based on the reduced version of the Loggan map by Pieter Van der Aa published in 1707 as well as the William Williams plan of the city published in 1732-33, with key plate below. This map retains the orientation of the Loggan, Van der Aa and Williams, with north at the bottom, highlighted by a compass arrow inscribed across the map. Whilst it retains much of the detail of the Loggan and Van der Aa maps it's ichnographic projection is more akin with the Willaims map as most of the buildings have been reduced to their footprint including the Radcliffe Camera which was built in 1749. The inscription below the map is identical to that of the Van der Aa map with the addition of the Radcliffe Camera which was not built at the time of Van der Aa's publication. The inscription reads: '1. Baliol College. 2. Exeter College. 3. Queens College. 4. Lincoln College. 5. Magdalen College. 6. Corpus Christi College. 7. Trinity College. 8. Jesus College. 9.
