NEW PUBLICATION September 2009
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. No other carto-bibliography now offered to the public is such value for money. No library or student of nineteenth century official mapping can afford to be without this volume: the introductory essay alone is practically worth the price
