Cambridge, David Loggan, 1688.<\/b><\/p>
This plan is the first of Cambridge to present the city as if seen vertically from above in a style that resembles the standards and accuracy we would expect in a modern map.

David Loggan was born in Danzig in 1634, moved to London some time before 1658, and spent some time working in Oxford and London before being appointed to the role of official engraver to Cambridge University on 5 March 1690. He died in 1692.<\/p>
