New Series : Berkshire in atlas form
Ordnance Survey of Berkshire
A collection of one-inch New Series sheets covering the whole county of Berkshire. Sheets were produced between 1886-1890, and mounted in atlas form by Edward Stanford.
Eleven sheets and an index, cloth backed with a printed title page : Ordnance Survey of Berkshire : On the scale of one inch to a mile. Red cloth cover with gilt lettering on front (Ordnance Survey of Berkshire) and spine (Berkshire / Stanford). All page edges gilt.
Each map is cloth backed and mounted as two pages facing each other, with no loss of detail in the gutter. Features within the county are hand coloured in the usual style: pink county boundary, blue water, green parks, sienne roads and red railways.
The quarter-inch county index shows Civil Parishes, the sheet lines of the one-inch map, six-inch and twenty five inch sheets. Major towns, villages and railways are marked.
Good clean condition, ever so slightly dusty in places. Good, sound, clean cover, a little rubbed at the edges, but overall a very nice item. Quite unusual, and probably made to order.
