Bristol 1884 SW

Bristol 1884 SW
These maps come from a rather dilapidated gazetteer dated about 1884. It has a number of cities and towns at this sort of scale, English county maps and rather small scale maps of Scotland and Ireland. The Welsh maps had all been removed at an earlier date. If anyone wants maps of other areas I will try to scan them, but my current scanner is harder to use when scanning anything over A4. I do have several cities and counties already on file.
The maps have been loaded at a larger than life file size so that one can look at areas in detail. If you are a visitor to ipernity - to magnify the image click the ACTIONS button, on the right of the screen, and then 'See all sizes'. Then choose the size you need.

My maps have generally been presented in this format. I don't really regard them as works of art and don't anticipate using them as still life subjects with related objects, like compasses or binoculars. I won't dump my whole collection into the group, but as I have done with this first batch, I will pick the most interesting areas from the various cities and counties. I hope this suits the objectives of the group - if not please say. I am pleased that a cartography group has got going. I had thought of starting one myself, but seem to have too many groups on the go already.
