Thomas Jefferys, The County of Oxford surveyed Anno MDCCLXVI&VII, (above) 1:63,360, 1768. With a detailed plan of Oxford at c1:4.9k and a vignette of a lighter sailing past Oxford with a load of timber. Boundaries of Hundreds are coloured. Two sheets, 37"x25", dissected. Slight offsetting. Cloth is torn at a couple of the folds but map is otherwise sound and in nice condition. A copy is currently at auction with a guide price of £1880.

4. John Evans, North Wales, 1:190,080, 1797. Includes parts of England as far east as Chester and Shrewsbury. Extends as far south as Newtown. Nice vignette Conway castle with a ship. Dissected. Counties outlined in various colours. A few roads in vicinity of Bishop's Castle are coloured in the same magenta used for some of the counties. Has an ink stain in the sea off Anglesey; condition otherwise good.

5. J Cary, A new map of Scotland, 1:506,880, 1801. 41"x36". Insets for Shetlands and Orkneys. Parts of England and Ireland included in simplified form. Counties edged in various colours; roads in brown. Dissected in slip-case. Some offsetting, otherwise good condition.

6. J Cary, A new map of the Principality of Wales, divided into Counties, c1:323k, 1827. Counties variously tinted, roads brown, parks green. Dissected in original marbled slip-case, with owner's signature of ?1832. Some of the panels are parting from the backing cloth at the edges; exposure to damp has produced brown stains at one corner of each panel, typically affecting 3 sq in of each panel. Was purchased for £40 in 1981.

7. Greenwood, Map of the South East Circuit of the Principality of Wales comprising the Counties of Glamorgan, Brecon & Radnor, c.1:86,400, 1828. Uncoloured. With excellent engraving of the ruined Llandaff Cathedral. The map is presented in 6 portions, each with a sewn border of green edging tape and dissected so as to fold to 10.5"x12.5", to fit loosely in a wooden case 12.5"x14.5" which is covered with marbled paper externally with a half-calf 'spine' and gilt title so that it can be shelved as a book. The map is in very good condition, with very slight foxing in places but no offsetting; the case has a split in the wood of the front cover (yet not such as to imperil it structurally or significantly to harm its appearance) and there is scuffing to the 'spine'. Described as "one of the rarest of the Greenwood large-scale maps". A similar (but coloured) specimen is currently being advertised at £750.

8. Robert Syar Hoggar, City of Oxford,1:1584 (2 chains to inch),1850. (above) A very detailed plan, furnished with heights to 0.01 ft, evidently with sanitary use in mind. Those with a detailed knowledge of Oxford will be interested to see the Trill Mill stream open throughout and the City Gaol in the middle of Gloucester Green. Dissected, edged with blue tape, and provided with a rigid book-fold cover. An inscription reads: " Presented by the author, R Hoggar, to Dr Fred Wood, CE, Rugby". Some wear to spine, otherwise very good condition.

9. Bartholomew, WH Smith & Son's New Plan of London, c1:20k, 1878 or 79. 32"x22" so covers inner suburbs only. Water blue, parks green, roads (if bus or tram routes) brown, railways in black overprinted in magenta. These last are shown dashed when merely projected or under construction - eg completion of Inner Circle and the District's Putney Bridge branch. On cloth in stiff book-fold covers. The paper has worn at some of the folds but the cloth is sound and the map overall is in respectable condition.

10. Bradshaw's Map of the Canals and Navigable Rivers of England and Wales, 1:808k, c1905. Shows railways as well, with the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway and branches of the Kent & E Sussex dashed (?projected). Cloth, with green end-papers. Cloth has parted on a couple of the folds.

11. A Geikie, Geological Map of England & Wales, 1:633,600, 1897. Topography by John Bartholomew. Dissected in stiff book-fold covers. A 28-page booklet of Explanatory Notes is pasted inside front cover, whose paste-down folds over to protect it. vgc.

12. A Geikie, Geological Map of Scotland, 1:633,600, 1910. Topography by John Bartholomew. Dissected in stiff book-fold covers. A 31-page booklet of Explanatory Notes is pasted inside front cover. Map is in good condition; binding of Explanatory Notes is weak.

14. Bartholomew, Wincarnis Motor & Cyclist Map, 1:633,600, c1920. 16 sections cover England & Wales. In red, blue & black. Robustly mounted on cloth, so that although the outer paper covers have almost completely gone, the maps themselves are still perfectly respectable.

15. William Rees, South Wales and the Border in the Fourteenth Century, (NW sheet and NE sheet) 1:126,720, printed by OS, 1932. Cloth, folded in brown card covers (EM). These covers are brittle and a small piece has almost been knocked that of the NE sheet. Maps themselves are in good condition.

16. Cornish's Map of the Birmingham District, 1:126,720. c1935. Bart's mapping "with special local revision and correction to date". 39"x31" so covers Leicester, Shrewsbury, Hereford. Dissected with grey pasted covers. Good condn.

17. Wirral Footpaths & Open Spaces Presn Soc, Central Wirral, Cheshire, 1:21,120, 1945. Covers Connah's Quay to Ellesmere Port to NW Chester. Reductions of latest available OS 6" with additions of footpaths (red) and open spaces (green). However, the footpath map is ungridded, even though some of the sheets used (eg 38NE) carry the National Grid - and there is no sign that it has been cleaned off, Cloth in bookfold card covers. vgc.

OS 18. New Series, Sleet 270 South London, 1:63,360. Electrotype taken 1879. Enough marginalia to show an epd of 1882. Dissected with marbled end-papers. vgc.

20. Map of the Aldershot Command, 1920. 1:63,360. As in Cook & McIntosh Preliminary List, but mounted on cloth. Reverse bears stamp "9th BRIGADE // R.G.A."

21. Special District (Relief) Map, Birmingham District, 1:126, 720. Published 1933. Print code 10,000/34. With pencil date (purchase?) 21/9/44. Some acid-staining on edges of paper and at folds, but basically sound.

Dissected with Sifton Praed integral cover. The cloth is failing on some of the folds but not to any inconvenient extent.

26. GSGS 3906, 1:25k, Sheet 50/20SE. 2nd edition with brown contours. Sheet includes Henley and Marlow so provides a reduction of the six-inch Special Emergency Edition, the 'raw data' of ARP Revision. Some foxing but basically good condition.

An 'official' reduction of the Cassini map, updated by Belleyme. Sheets are dissected with bookseller's1 label on the reverse (Sheets 7 & 8 being mounted as a single sheet) and presented in a contemporary cardboard case, covered in green cloth (grained to look like calf) with title in gilt letters on maroon to go with books on a library shelf. The maps themselves are in good condition but the lower part of the case has lost its outer layer and bottom, so one sees bare cardboard. A complete set of all 24 sheets is currently being offered at £1764.

Gambia 35. War Office, Military Report on the Colony and Protectorate of the Gambia, Vol II - Routes, 1926. Detailed descriptions of roads and a couple of river routes, with notes like 'across a shallow swamp of 200 yds, dry in March'. In a pocket are two non- standard sheets of GSGS1958 (Africa, 1:250k) originally produced 1906 from the work of the Anglo-French boundary commission but revised 1925; between them they cover the whole country. In 5 colours, the maps show relief by form lines; much detail is conveyed by annotation, eg 'rice farms', 'mangrove swamps'. Detail is extended a few miles beyond the border of the Gambia. Condition: the maps have scarcely been used; they and the whole volume are wormed, but not so as to affect its usability.

Germany (pre-1945) Preussische Landesaufnahme, Übersichtskarte von Mitteleuropa, 1:300k, 36. Sheet K50, Trier, 1925, printed 1926. A prominent orange national border symbol now separates off Alsace and Lorraine. Dissected, with Stanford label. Good condition.

Versailles Treaty, 1919. 38. Map 3. Danzig. Base in grey transferred from Karte des Deutchen Reiches, 1:100k. In red are boundaries, solid or dashed according to whether they need to be delimited on the ground. 35"x26". Paper starting to tear at folds. 39. Map 4. Schleswig. Base in grey at 1:200k - not very legible and probably reduced. Key names overprinted in black Red and orange lines show boundaries of plebiscite zones. Lithographed by Harrison & Sons, St Martin's Lane WC1. Starting to fail at intersection of folds.

1 Picquet, Charles (1771-1827), Quai de Conti ou de la Monnaie, No 17. The address helps refine the date. Germany (DDR)

40. VEB Road map 6, Leipzig, 1:200k, 1972. Not a bad topo map, with contour + hill-shading. Tri-lingual key: German, Russian, English. Marks 'transit roads' (the routes available for access from the West to west Berlin - the blocking of which was the occasion of the Berlin Airlift in 1948-9).

41. VEB, Wanderkarte 651, Annaberg-Buchholz Marienberg, 1:50k, 1966. A walking map without contours (just vague hill-shading) - but it does show a scattering of pubs.

42. VEB street plan 206, Erfurt, 1:12.5k, 1965. Good-quality town plan, with a 1:5k plan of the International Garden Exhibition on the reverse. Multi-lingual key: German, Russian, French & English. Some wear to folds.

C5530, Suhl, 1993. M.

73. Senatsverwaltung für Bauen, Wohnen und Verkehr, Übersichtskarte von Berlin, 1:50k, 1998. Despite its proud claim to be a 10-colour edition, an unimpressive piece of cartography.

Iceland 74. Landmælingar Íslands, 1:50k, Sheet 57 Hekla SV. Surveyed 1907, revised 1988, published 1989. Dates in different areas appear to mark the date of the lava on the surface. Areas tinted red perhaps indicate where the surface is hot.

Italy 75. W&AK Johnstone, Travelling Map of North Italy (cover). Inside is Keith Johnston, North & Central Italy and the Island of Corsica, 1:1.5M with environs of Rome inset at 1:253,440. This is from Johnston's Royal Atlas, started 1855, so shows Italy with a few early railways but before unification: a rare source for the administrative subdivisions of, say, the Papal States. Map is dissected and bound with an index in book-fold covers. Hinge weak, otherwise good.

2 ie not the orohydrographic, the footpath, or the admin-boundaries versions. 76. Carlo Cerri, Carta Stradale e Postale dell' Italia, 1:864k, 1859. Published by Artari company of Vienna. 47"x31". This is just the northern sheet of a 2-sheet map, so outer border is on 3 sides only. The Papal States now have a railway, from Rome to Frascati. The hachuring makes for a very heavy look, and the map is much easier to use in the countries outside Italy which are not hachured but have good detail, notably Bosnia (W of Serajevo), Croatia & Dalmatia. Dissected in marbled slip-case. Good condition.

77. Sir William Gell, Rome and its Environs, c1:100k, 1834. Nicely engraved, from a trigonometrical survey. Sundry notes in Latin, eg 'Regio non satis explorata'. The area of Rome itself is coloured red, water is edged in a delicate blue. There is an image at https://www.rc.umd.edu/gallery/rome-its-environs-trigonometrical-survey Dissected. vgc.

78. IGM 1:100k, Sheet 102, San Remo (1895 edition 'senza opere militare'). Hachured and contoured, produced by 'Fotoincisione sistema Avet.', seemingly an engraved map but one where the plate is produced from a drawing without the employment of engravers. Includes part of France, which is drawn with lighter hachures and without contours. Dissected with small label on reverse.

79. IGM, 1:50k, Sheet 029 Cortina d'Ampezzo = M792, NL33-4-c1, 1968. Hill- shaded. Excellent cartography.

82. IGM, 1:25k, Sheet 48-III (NW), Desenzano del Garda = M891, 1969.

83. Pianta Topografica di Roma Moderna estratta dalla grande del Nolli an 1843. 1:8k. Insets show plans of St Paul, Santa Costanza and San Lorenzo fuori le mure. It is remarkable to see that buildings cover only half the area within the walls; the Colosseum is surrounded by gardens. 33"x25". Dissected, with backing cloth turned over and sewn at edges to provide a guard. Some of the panels are curling up just a little at the edges and the paper has taken on a slightly yellow-brown tint but basically good condition. A New York dealer is offering the 1847 edition in similar condition at $495.

84. Michelin 988, Italie, Suisse: Grandes Routes, 1974. Good condn.

Madeira 85. Fairey Leisure Map, 1:70k. c1975. Insets cover Porto Santo and (at 1:10k) Funchal.

86. IGC, 1:50k, Ilho da Madeira, surveyed 1915, revised 1958. 2 sheets designed to be mounted together: the border runs round 3 sides of each. Overall map is thus 49"x26" between neat lines. Some wear at junctions of folds.

87. IGC 1:50k, Ilha do Porto Santo, 1970. Nice mapping, derived from 1:2k cadastral plans.

Portugal 88. IGC 1:400k, 1957-8. 3 sheets covering whole country. Minimal detail of Spain: main roads and railways but no contours.

IGC 1:50k. (M7810). 5-colour, dominated by red detail. 89. Sheet 5A Viano do Castelo, 1963. Starting to fail at folds. 90. Sheet 5D Braga, 1963 91. Sheet 9B Guimarāes, 1963.

Spain & Possessions 92. Francisco Coello, Islas Canarias, 1:280k with enlargements of towns, [1849]. From the Diccionario Geografico Estadistico Historico - Atlas de España y sus Posessiones de Ultramar. A sheet of this atlas is illustrated in IMCOS Jnl 145 (2016) p22, which will indicate the style. This sheet, 42"x30", is the western of two sheets intended to be mounted together, so only half the title appears, etc. Dissected, with cloth endpapers. Library stamp.

Servicio Geografico del Ejercito, 1:200k, layered. 93. Sheet 4-10, Cordoba, 1970. 94. Sheet 4-11, Moron de la Frontera, 1969. 95. Sheet 4-12 Algeciras, 1969.

103. AA/ Clyde Surveys, Gibraltar and the Costa del Sol, 1;125k, c1985. Most useful for its coloured town plans, of which Gibraltar (1:9k with centre at 1:4.5k) is the best. 104. Servicio Geografico del Ejercito, Mapa di Mando, 1:100k, Sheet 196, Palma (Mallorca), 1965.

Heavy hachuring; glaciers with blue form-lines; summits with small red triangles or circles (applied by a user, or do these relate to Alpine Club descriptions?). 25"x14", dissected with brown card covers stuck on. Some of panels turned up at edges; front cover a bit battered; otherwise OK.

179. 1:250k Ireland, South, Holiday Map. One of a layered 4-sheet series covering whole island. Despite the title, this is pukka 1:250k cartography.

GSGS 180. GSGS2555 Asia 1:1M. Sheet North K 36 (Sinob - N central Turkey) 1916. Dissected in Sifton Praed covers.

181. GSGS2733 NW Europe, 1:250k. Sheet 1 and part of 4, Revised edition, Feb 1915. Key for roads distinguishes 'main, macadamised' from 'main, paved' (ie pavées). An interesting map: one is struck by the amazing double ring of forts around Antwerp and by the direct railway line from Bruges to Brussels (S) being shown as under construction E of Aalst. This is the sheet that started life as GSGS2733b - see Sheetlines 39, p34. Cloth, direct-printed cover.

181. GSGS2738 France 1:250k. Sheet 1A, September 1917. This is the version John Cruickshank describes (Sheetlines 39, p34) where he notes that it includes England S & E of London, specially drawn at 1:250k. More important for its intended users, it has been redrawn in the style of GSGS2733 (except that the pavé symbol has been dropped (presumably the information was not available); the sheetlines are aligned with those of 2733. The style used for the English detail is based on that used in France but the detail is not so fine.

182. GSGS2758 Europe 1:1M. Sheet North L 33 (Triest). Drawn & printed by OS 1915, railways to 10.4.19, international boundaries to 1926. Dissected in Sifton Praed marbled covers.

Brazil 188. American Geographical Society of New York, South America 1:1M, sheet S D- 22 (Goyaz), 1935. Provisional edition (of IMW?). The reliability diagram is frightening: a very few 'reliable traverses' with much of the map filled in from descriptive notes. It comes as a shock to discover that Brasilia is just about at the SE corner of the map.

198. IGN, Lille et son agglomeration, 1:13k, 2000. A large and detailed 2-sided street plan that folds out from the back of a 64p booklet with index to streets etc. The stiff front cover of the booklet folds out to provide a useful plan of the city centre.
