Loggan was born to English and Scottish parents, and was baptised in Danzig in 1634. After studying engraving in Danzig with Willem Hondius (1598-1652 or 1658), he moved to London in the late 1650s, going on to produce the engraved title-page for the folio 1662 Book of Common Prayer. He married in 1663 and moved to Nuffield in Oxfordshire in 1665. Loggan was appointed Public Sculptor to the nearby University of Oxford in the late 1660s, having been commissioned to produce bird’s-eye views of all the Oxford colleges. He lived in Holywell Street as he did this. The ‘Oxonia Illustrata’ was published in 1675, with the help of Robert White (1645-1704). Following its completion, Loggan began work on his equivalent work for Cambridge; the ‘Cantabrigia Illustrata’ was finally published in 1690, when he was made engraver to Cambridge University. The ‘Oxonia Illustrata’ also includes an engraving of Winchester College (Winchester and New College share William of Wykeham as their founder) whilst the ‘Cantabrigia Illustrata’ includes one of Eton College (which shares its founder, Henry VIII, with King’s College).." - See Manningfineart.
