Two versions of Ogilby's original work, both in folio, were issued in 1675: the "Britannia, volume the first" containing both text and maps, and "Itinerarium Angliae" from which the main portion of the text is omitted. Later, beginning in 1719, various works containing reductions of the maps were issued, among them "Britannia depicta" of which the first edition is dated 1720. Cf.
