I have a map entitled ‘The Cotswold Hunt’ (62cm x 53cm), it is the 1912 version, printed by the OS but based on the one-inch Third Edition map of England and Wales. The places of meets and the boundaries of the hunt were marked in red. Entitled Cotswold Hunt Map, it also is mounted on thick card & is in pretty good nick. It carries a note ‘Printed Specially for Cotswold Hunt’. This map is mentioned at http://www.charlesclosesociety.org/files/Issue108page34.pdf

The OS's most elusive post-war maps?
As Roger Hellyer observed in the cartobibliography of the 1:25,000 Provisionals, most editions probably exist in Outline form but it has been hard to find examples. The Hon Sec recently had occasion to catalogue a collection of these donated to Society for Lincolnshire History & Archaeology. Out of 86 sheets, no fewer than 33 were of editions not previously recorded in Outline form; 54 were new states (new editions or new price codes). CCS members are offered the rare opportunity to acquire these Outlines at just £1 each (+P&P - or arrange to collect from Lincoln). Maps are on chart paper. Unless noted 'XA', they are annotated with Drainage Board boundaries, SSSIs, and with selected archaeological sites. Editions are given in modern style (eg B1) rather than in the form on the map (B). To place orders, contact booksales@slha.org.uk . Cheques should be payable to 'Lincolnshire Heritage'. Members wanting information on price codes should contact the Hon Sec.
Also available are numerous sheets in coloured edition at just 50p each (+P&P). All these are flat. Most are late printings having the reverse printed with the basic cover and index map, etc, ready for folding, and are generally in near-pristine condition, albeit some have had hangers attached for vertical storage . Some are early printings, generally in a separate list within each 100km square.
Minimum order value (for Outline and Coloured combined) is £5.

Bids are invited for 3 items from the collection of a member who is now in a care home, to be received by honsec@charlesclosesociety.org before 8 Oct.
York Town Map, 1920 Paper flat, which has been folded to 5"x10". There are 7 small tears at folds. Only one of these extends within the outer margin of the map; this one continues perhaps 1mm inside the neat line. Small holes have appeared at several intersections of folds within the map. However, the map itself is clean and bright and would justify conservation work.
Killarney District, 1:63,360, revised 1908, published 1913. Buff post-independence cover, with 'SE', shield, title and ?Glendalough view, surrounded by interlace. This is the first of the OS experiments in the use of layers and hillshading, along with hachures, to show relief, It is presumably a post-independence printing, but whereas the state of the plates deteriorated later on, here they still seem to be crisp. (See photo at https://www.charlesclosesociety.org/files/Killarney.jpg.) General condition of map is good.
Six-inch Special Emergency Edition, Northumberland N86SW (Killingworth). Good condition.
Irish quarter-inch sheets Paper, flat, copies are also available of all the Irish quarter-inch sheets in printings ranging from 1905 to 1918, several being in outline form. These all appear to be pre-independence printings, as opposed to later ones. Enquiries invited.

FOR SALE : KILLARNEY 1” map 1913. Rare Experimental map.
Arguably Charles Close’s favourite map. Understood to be the first colour printed map by OS. 11 colours. Arguably the zenith of OS colour printing. Relief shown by black dotted contours, hachures and hill shading.
This is a flat sheet folded, without cover. It is CLOTH. It is 22.5” by 31” portrait. It has wear on some intersects and pin holes top corners only. Must have been somebody’s ‘Pin Up’.
If you would like to see photographs, if you would like to offer what you think it might be worth, or both, or anything else, please be in touch.

FOR SALE - OS MAP COLLECTION: I am in the process of selling my OS map collection as my intention is to move permanently to Spain but in doing so, unfortunately will no longer have the room for display/storage.
My collection is pretty comprehensive and includes a wide range of large scale, county series maps some 1st edition originals from 1860 onward, original field re-survey 1:1250 docs on Permatrace of Berwick upon Tweed, almost a full set of original survey of Isle of Man @1860's with reduced set to 1:2500 field intelligence sheets and deletions model. I also have some BJ plates 1:1250 re-survey originals.
Together with an assortment of various one inch maps, flat and folded, 1:25000 maps there are aerial photographs, contact prints and 2500 field copies, a Casella SV2 stereoscopic viewer, brass mushroom bolts (4) for trig stations and primary/secondary levelling BMs, other survey instruments e.g. plane table and brass alidade. I also have copies of the “biscuit book “and “Red Book” the field surveyors bibles on Trig, Traversing, levelling and map spec.
I believe parts of this collection would be of real interest to some of your members, especially the original “Air Photos” “Field Survey Docs” and “BJ plates” as they are unique. A full list is posted at http://www.charlesclosesociety.org/files/Markendale.pdf
