Born in Scotland, John Ogilby was a man of many talents: geographer, dancing master, poet, tranlator, historian, printer, publisher, Royal Cosmographer (1671). He was a prolific producer of maps who translated many of the works by Arnoldus Montanus. In addition, he issued a new form of road map, done in strips, that were copied by many later mapmakers.
