David Loggan (1635–1700)
Cantabrigia illustrata
Cantabrigiæ: Quam proprijs sumptibus typis mandavit & impressit, [1690]

Loggan’s famous volume of engravings of the colleges and buildings of Cambridge shows how little the University’s main body of buildings had changed since the 1574 depiction in Matthew Parker’s book. Loggan’s view shows the Old Schools from the East, with the building constructed in the fifteenth century to house Rotherham’s library in the foreground. This part of the Old Schools was pulled down in 1754 and rebuilt in a style matching the new Senate House; the gate was taken to Madingley Hall and survives as the entrance to the courtyard.
