Rare on the market. In 1855 the Ordnance Survey had just emerged from a state of transition having been newly placed under War Office administration and with a new Inspector-General of Fortifications in Lieutenant-Colonel Henry James. The introduction to the first report in this lot, which was the very first detailed report on the Ordnance Survey presented to Parliament, lists the recent achievements of the Ordnance Survey including the six-inch to a mile mapping of Ireland completed in 1846. The Irish maps Ôhaving proved to be of such great value to the public for such numerous purposes not originally contemplated` led to the continuation of the six-inch project to Scotland and Northern England which, together with the production of one-inch maps and 1/2500 (just over 25 inches to a mile) scale maps for urban areas, meant that the Ordnance Survey was fully stretched at this time. Much of the first report therefore proposes a number of recommendations to save time and labour including a new process for producing photographically reduced one-inch maps from six-inch maps, the production of electrotypes which were exact copies of the original copper plates produced to preserve the original, and developments in printed colour (hand colouring was done by boys of 13 and 14 years old for between sixpence and a shilling a day). There are specimens of many of these proposed production methods contained within the first report and the subsequent reports each contain maps depicting the growing level of coverage. (2)
