Ordnance Survey. Report on the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom for 1855-56, 27 pp., twenty-nine plates including maps that depict the progress of six-inch to a mile map coverage in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, plus numerous specimen plates demonstrating the effectivness of electrotype and photographic reductions, bound with Report on the Ordnance Survey Commission; together with Minutes of Evidence, 1858, five engraved plates incl. four folding, bound with Report of the Progress of the Ordnance Survey and Topographical Depot, to the 31st December 1858, and similar reports for the years ending 1860-1872, all reports containing folding engraved maps showing the progress of work in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, all works bound into two volumes, contemp. cloth, one cover detached, folio (340 x 210 mm). 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)
