About the Item

Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733), after David Loggan (1634–1692) The Sheldonian Theatre, University of Oxford Engraving 12 x 16 cm An eighteenth-century view of Oxford's marvellous Sheldonian Theatre, engraved by Pieter van der Aa after David Loggan, the noted engraver, draughtsman, and painter. Christopher Wren designed the building and it was constructed between 1664 and 1669; it takes its name from Gilbert Sheldon, chancellor of the University at the time and the Theatre's main financial backer. 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.
