OUR LATEST PUBLICATION
Old Series to Explorer by Chris Higley
Described as a ‘field guide’, the book is intended to help readers identify and put into context any sheets that they may come across. Colour has been used liberally to illustrate both the maps and their covers. There is also a complete set of index diagrams for each series, together with enough about the history and processes of the Ordnance Survey to understand why their maps looked as they did. Finally, there are chapters on ‘mapmakers at war’ and on collecting maps.
One Inch Engraved Maps of the Ordnance Survey from 1847
by Roger Hellyer and Richard Oliver
This monumental publication describes the development of the engraved one-inch maps of the Ordnance Survey from the 1840s to their gradual demise from 1914 onwards. An introductory essay of over 100,000 words by Richard Oliver is followed by an exhaustive carto-bibliography by Roger Hellyer, which has been compiled from the resources of not only all the major libraries in Britain and Ireland, but also those of many European countries and of North America.
