David Loggan
David Loggan’s parents were English and Scottish. He studied engraving in Danzig with Willem Hondius and moved to London in the late 1650s, producing the engraved title page for the folio Book of Common Prayer (1662). After marrying in 1663, Loggan moved to Nuffield, Oxfordshire, in 1665 to avoid the Plague and was in 1668–69 appointed as a public sculptor to the nearby University of Oxford, having been commissioned to produce bird’s-eye views of all the Oxford Colleges. He lived in Holywell Street as he did this. Oxonia illustrata was published in 1675, with the help of Robert White. Following its completion, Loggan commenced work on his equivalent work for Cambridge, Cantabrigia Illustrata, which was finally published in 1690 when he was made engraver at Cambridge University.
