A colourful geological map of Devon, from Stanford's Geological Atlas of Great Britain and Ireland. The various geological bands of the county are printed in a series of different colours, with extra annotations providing details about patches of gravels, shell beds, corallians, ammonites, and other notes of paleontological and paleolithic interest. In addition to geological information, the map also shows the main road network and the railways. Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was a British publisher and cartographer, and founder of Stanford's Ltd. In the mid 1850's, Stanford founded his business in response to rapid British colonial expansion and the demand for accurate, high-quality, and accessible maps that resulted. As well as producing his own maps, Stanford also reprinted a number of other series, including the popular maps of principle cities by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Stanford's son, also named Edward, succeeded his father in 1884. Condition: Central vertical fold, as issued. Time toning to central fold, and edges of sheet. Binders holes to central fold. Small tear to bottom of central fold. Blank on verso. |
