Seller: mitchmap50 ✉️ (7,601) 100%, Location: Fairlight, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 122649232876 1893 Geological Map East Sussex Ordnance Survey OS Handcoloured Geikie Antique. A genuine early Geological Survey map of the whole of East Sussex, from Rottingdean and West Hoathly in the West to Winchelsea and Tenterden in the East. With the following imprint bottom left: "The Geology Published Dec 1st 1864. Sir RI Murchison KCB, Director General.  Wealden Lines by WT Aveline, HW Bristow, F Drew, C Gould, C Le Neve Foster, W Topley, & WB Dawkins.  Lower Greensand, Gault, and Upper Greensand Lines, C Gould, & TR Polwhele.   Chalk and Tertiary Lines by HW Bristow.  _  AC Ramsay, Local Director.  New Edition Published Nov. 1893.  Sir Arch. Geikie, DSc LLD FRS, Director General." Imprint bottom right: "Printed from an Electrotype taken in 1864.  Railways inserted to March 1884.  Levels revised in 1884." So this is a first series OS map, an 1864 edition updated to 1884, coloured by hand with the Geological information. One of a number of early Geological maps I will be listing over the next few weeks. For a short period of time these early ordnance survey maps were coloured by hand, creating what I consider to be the most beautiful cartography to come out of the Ordnance Survey. Such was the intricacy of the colouring required that it soon became clear that the whole process was not going to be cost-effective. Luckily advances in colour printing eventually solved the problem. The map is mounted on linen, with an Edward Stanford label (selling agents) on the front, and all in a lovely clean condition. Needless to say, the map is very scarce. Size: Folded the map measures 17cms x 11cms.. Unfolded some 99.5cms x 68cms. Condition: In a good clean condition. Free postage within the UK. £5.00 to Europe, £8.00 to USA etc. I have other antique maps, books, prints etc. in my ebay shop - please see my other items. As stated above I will be putting more early geological maps into my shop over the next few weeks.
