Southampton: Printed at the Ordnance Survey Office, 1924. First edition. (4)[title, index, scales, and characteristics], followed by the 18 folios, + (3) index. The folios are double-page maps with wide borders, mounted on linen, alternating with blank openings. Several have small foldouts to extend the area covered. Erratum slip tipped in at title. Large landscape quarto (c.14 x 15.5ins / 35 x 40cms), in the original pink cloth boards with royal crest and decorative lettering in gilt, with later spine and corners all made good in a neutral (grey) cloth. The new upper leading corner to the front is slightly angled, having presumably been very eroded before repair. The contents are very clean and in good order, and the repaired binding is attractive and firm. Scarce. Very Good.
