Engraving

An eighteenth-century view of Balliol, engraved by Pieter van der Aa after David Loggan, the noted engraver, draughtsman, and painter who specialised in engravings of Oxford and Cambridge.

Pieter van der Aa of Leiden was a Dutch publisher best known for preparing maps and atlases, though he also printed editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated volumes. He is noted for the many engravings he produced after David Loggan’s series of Oxford and Cambridge colleges and costumes. In 1727 Van Der Aa illustrated “Les Delices de la Grande Bretagne & de L’Irelande” by James Beeverell, the book in which this engraving appears.

Condition: a good impression; trimmed just onto platemark on left side.
