A chromolithographed plan of central Oxford, encompassing the Oxford Canal in the west to the Cherwell in the east, and from the Broad Walk in the south to St Giles in the north. Colleges are shown as black footprints, while the footprints of University buildings, churches, county and municipal buildings, and other public amenities are hatched and titled. Ward, Lock, & Co. were a British publishing house, founded by Ebenezer Ward and George Lock in 1854, originally operating from premises on Fleet St before relocating to Warwick House on Salisbury Square in 1878, where the company remained until the near destruction of the building by bombing during the Second World War. The company's portfolio was diverse and prolific, ranging from household almanacks, travel guides, and dictionaries to reprints of classics, detective stories and romance novels, and school texts. The company was eventually divided and acquired by Cassell Publishing in 1989. Condition: Horizontal and vertical folds as issued. Lower half of right margin trimmed close to neatline, as issued, and filled. Blank on verso. |
