This is an 1837 Thomas Moule map or city plan of Oxford, England. Stretching from the observatory on Woodstock Road to the River Isis and the Charwell River and from the Oxford Canal to Magdalen Bridge, this map depicts both the city and university of Oxford in detail.

Thomas Moule (1784 – 1851) was an English antiquarian, writer on heraldry, and cartographer. He is best known for his popular and highly decorative steel-engraved county maps of England. More by this mapmaker...


James Bingley (1796 – 1869) was an engraver, copperplate printer, mapmaker and colored-paper manufacturer. Born in Leicester, Bingley pursued many different professional opportunities over the course of his life. In 1833 he was imprisoned for debt, while a partner in a publishing venture. He was possibly connected with 'Batho and Bingley,' banknote engravers and printers, and by the end of his life he was described as an 'artist and engraver on steel.' Learn More...
