Geological Survey Map of England and Wales
This is a fascinating and detailed geological survey map of England and Wales, dating from the Victorian era. The map is comprised of numerous individual sheets, meticulously joined to create a large-scale representation of the country’s geological features. It showcases the detailed work of the Ordnance Geological Survey, with intricate colour coding and annotations indicating various rock formations and geographical landmarks. The map features the imprint of Edward Stanford, a well-known wholesale and retail map seller of the period.
Condition and Collectibility
The map shows signs of age and use, with some creasing, minor tears, and areas of discoloration consistent with its age. Despite these imperfections, the map remains a remarkably well-preserved example of Victorian cartography. This map would be of particular interest to collectors of antique maps, geological enthusiasts, and those with an interest in the history of British cartography. It offers a unique glimpse into the geological understanding of the time and represents a significant piece of historical documentation.
