Although this is not a print, it is valuable as a pictorial footnote to the
nineteenth-century iconography of the University for its information on the
changes which had taken place since the original buildings were put up. It
should be compared with the ground plans in the Maverick group of prints.
The encircling roads still exist in this map, the Victorian buildings appear
on it, and the additions made after the Annex and Rotunda were burned in
1895 at both the north and south ends of the Lawn are shown. The buildings
marked X were never built, nor were the connections between M.L. (Cocke
Hall) and P.L. (Rouss Hall) and the south end of the original Lawn. M.L.,
P.L., and A.B. (Cabell Hall) had been begun when this map appeared, but
subsequently built.
The map appeared in the University's Catalogue, this particular example
being taken from that for 1896-97.
