The Right Honourable Denis Brown M.P. and Member of the Dublin Society, and Royal Irish Academy, foreman; Commenced in 1809, and terminated in 1817, by William Bald F.R.S.E. Member of the Royal Geographical Society Paris, Member of the Geological Society London, Member of the Royal Irish Academy, Honorary Member of the Wernerian Natural History Society Edinburgh. Engraved by Pierre Tardieu, 1830. overall dimensions when joined. 3.11m x 2.57m average sheet size 620 x 510By William Bald, a massively detailed map of Mayo in 25 sections, each varying slightly in size; a little detail here and there of adjacent counties. Large title cartouche. Extensive table of mountain heights. Lake levels; bog levels and depths. Coastal soundings. Plan of trigonometrical base lines. Scale 1 inches to 1 mile. Published by the Mayo Grand Jury. Some edges frayed and some light foxing otherwise in very good condition. William Bald was born in Burntisland in 1789. He was employed as an apprentice under the celebrated Scottish surveyor, engraver and mapmaker, John Ainslie. Bald made a survey of Harris in 1805 when he was only 16, and was later responsible for surveys of ~Benbecula, south Ulst, Eriskey and Argyll, possibly because the tugged nature of the terrain would have been difficult for Ainslie, then in his 60s. These and other of his surveys were later incorporated into Aaron Arrowsmith's map of Scotland. By the time Bald arrived in Mayo in 1809 as county surveyor, he had been described by his teacher and mentor John Ainslie as a very big man... In the words of John Andrews, no ordinary tribute for a twenty-year-old. Bald's first commitment in Mayo was a Grand Jury map of the county. At the same time, he managed to work for the Bogs Commission on their brief for a survey of the bogs of Ireland. Both surveys were to degree of sophistication and meticulousness which far outstripped anything known in Ireland up to that time. His map of Mayo was unique in its scale and scholarship. The base measurement and triangulation were impeccable. Bald spent 18 years on the Mayo survey and engaged Pierre Tardieu in Paris, the foremost engraver of his day, to bring the map to fruition. This was done very slowly and at great expense, finally reaching the light of day in 1830. Bald was a familiar figure in Castlebar, much admired by some, yet disliked by others who through envy of his great expertise, carped at his efforts; or who, unused to the sheer cost of mapping on such a scale, complained at his lavish use of public money. Bald went on to plan surveys of Clare and Down. He even envisaged a general triangulation of Ireland and a new geological map. He still found time to attend to roads and bridges in his adopted county. The coming of the Ordnance Survey spelled the end of the era of the great land surveyors, Bald among them. In later life, he concentrated on roads, bridges, canals and harbours, and eventually railways. He was a principal adviser in the early deliberations of the Ordnance Survey. William Bald loved Mayo, as can be seen from his Map. The profusion of place names, particularly coastal place names, attests to his love of the Mayo landscape, so like his native Scotland. He was one of the ablest, most hard-working and most creative map-makers ever to practise in Ireland. He died in 1857; he is buried in Highgate Cemetery, London. His wife, Anne, pre-deceased him; she is buried in Straide, Co. Mayo.
