THE REVISED NEW SERIES COLOUR PRINTED ONE-INCH MAP OF ENGLAND & WALES 1897-1914

Dr Tim Nicholson, 2002.

A study and full listing of the OS's first colour-printed map series. 95 pages, B5, 27 black and white figures, colour plates, softback.

Tim Nicholson has written a comprehensive study of this important series which changed the image of Ordnance Survey maps. The public were offered for the first time a map printed in up to five colours, folded in covers to fit in a pocket. The origins and impact of the new map are treated exhaustively in part one The Story of the Map. The second part reviews all Aspects of the map series and third part contains a listing of all known Map States.

An essential source book for a neglected map series of considerable significance in the development of modern mapping in Britain.
