Archibald & Peck's Map of the West Coast from the Ordnance Survey Showing the Royal Route Connections of Mr. David Macbratyne's Steamers Columba, Iona, Etc Printed on Cloth and Coloured Price One Shilling

Archibald & Peck, 1881. Hardcover. Card covers with a title label enclose a colour printed map (13 1/2 x 16 ) on linen of Scotland's West Coast from the Clyde to Ayr in the south, almost to Oban in the north-west and includes Campbeltown and Arran. The map is clean though some childrens pencil scribbles on the rear of the map have been almost erased. A plate on the front pastedown describes the Royal Mail Steamer Columba referring especialy to : the most useful novelty is the Post-Office, where letters, telegrams &c, are received, stamped, sorted, and distributed at every calling place along the route, for transmission to all parts.The scheme has been so successful that the official post Office Report for the month of August, 1880, states that over 73,500 letters passed through the office during one month of which 13,200 were local letters passing between different coast towns on the route of the steamer. Opposite are further details of MacBrayne's services. This is probably a first issue as MacBrayne took over the service from hs uncle David Hutchison in 1880/81. The title label on the front boad is darkened with a little loss at one corner and some light transverse creasing of the boards. A rare piece of MacBrayne ephemera. See scans . Good +

Edinburgh: Ordnance Survey Sheet 74

Chessington, Ordnance Survey, 1945 . Cloth. A very scarce large colour map of Midlothian and Edinburgh, published by the Ordnance Survey in 1945. A very scarce 1945 Ordnance Survey map of Edinburgh, Sheet 74 of the Ordinance Survey's 'One Inch Map of England and Wales' publication. For this series, a full map of England and Wales was divided into square inches, and a detailed map created of each square inch, with the scale of the maps set at 'one inch to one statue mile&apos.To the north of the map is the entire city of Edinburgh, and its surroundings, reaching to the Moorfoot Hills to the map's south, and the Lemmermuir Hills to the east.This work was once held by Cambridgeshire Libraries, and bears a number of markings as such, not affecting the map itself. From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie, an extravagant socialite and renowned beauty of the Edwardian period. Impeccably connected, Pleydell-Bouverie was also the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII, and rumoured to be a lover of King Edward VIII. A sparkling figure of fashionable society, her friends included Nancy Mitford, Coco Chanel, Winston Churchill, and Fred Astaire. This work is from the sale of Pleydell-Bouverie"s library at Julians Park, Hertfordshire. She purchased the home in 1940, redesigning the interior and amassing an impressive library, featuring many examples of her own bookbinding.   Rebound in cloth covered boards. Cloth bright, with ink library markings to tail of back strip. Cloth detaching to back strip head and tail, with boards remaining firmly held. Bookplate removal to front pastedown, with library stamp to front free endpaper. Internally, map exceptionally bright, with no tears. One small library stamp to front and another to rear of map, not affecting the map itself. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good .
