Greenough, GB

A Physical and Geological Map of England and Wales, .1865, 3rd edition, published posthumously by the Geological Society of London, and the only edition to acknowledge Greenough's debt to William Smith's 1815 map. Scale 1"=6 miles. In four quadrants, each 26.75"x34" (67x86cm), the entire map also includes adjacent Ireland, Scotland and France which are also coloured, unlike the previous editions. The maps are cut and mounted on linen and folded between soft marbled card covers. The maps are clean, bright and in very good to fine condition. They are contained in a new sleeve 10"x7" covered in complementary marbled paper.

Arrowsmith, Greenough

Another copy - Arrowsmith's map of 1835. This map is complete but in poor condition. It is linen-canvas backed and mounted on two mahogany rollers with brass-plated finials. It has spent the last several decades rolled up from each end to the middles so that it has flexed and the paper has separated along the original centrefold. The map requires restoration – flattening, light cleaning, repair of centre fold and pasting down of tears. The colour is good and it can be brought up to good condition. It is on my 'to do' list, but in the meantime it is for sale with all faults.

Arrowsmith, Greenough

SOLD

The Inland Navigation, Rail Roads, Geology and Minerals of England and Wales, 1834 (date on map). Hand coloured engraving, 25.5"x21.75" (63x55cm), based on Greenough's map. Slight overall browning with age, minor marginal tears not affecting the map area. Centrefold from original atlas. Trimmed top and bottom close to plate mark, leaving untrimmed index tabs in top and bottom right hand corners. Light tea stain on right margin and two small ink marks in bottom margin. The original colouring is from before the adoption of the now conventional colours, giving a light and unusual look. The legend gives 'scientific', ie, material, names and popular names. In good condition and very attractive.
