No binding. 1325 x 1040 mm., four sheets dissected and laid on contemporary linen, in full early wash colour, edged in green silk, with marbled endpapers. With full contemporary diced russia slipcase, lightly worn, gilt panelled, gilt ruled spine with gilt title, one or two light marks, otherwise in good condition. This large scale map by Christopher Greenwood (1786-1855) is one of the first issued with his brother. The survey of Warwickshire is one of three published in 1822, it is issued in partnership with George Pringle, Junior. Christopher Greenwood was a surveyor and mapmaker from Yorkshire who settled in Wakefield by about 1815 before moving to London in 1818. His first large-scale survey was of Yorkshire published in 1817. His brother John was also a surveyor and in 1821 they joined forces. Along with the distribution capabilities of George Pringle and Son, they made an immediate impact with their series of large scale surveys of many English counties. The map is drawn by R. Creighton and almost certainly engraved by Samuel John Neele (1758-1824) and his son James Neele (1791-1868). It is on a large scale of one inch to the mile and differentiates between woods and plantations, heaths and commons, different types of waterway and roads. Watermills, windmills and toll booths are identified indicating their significance to the local economy. A large vignette of Warwick Castle occupies the lower left corner. The early 1800s was a time of rapid change in the landscape with the burgeoning industrial revolution. Their surveys utilised the latest system of triangulation adopted by Colonel Mudge and his surveyors for the Ordnance Survey. Indeed, they were in open competition with them. The Greenwood maps were coloured as opposed to the more functional black and white Ordnance Surveys of the period. Harvey & Thorpe (1959) 77; Rodger (1972) 481; Slater, Terry R.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE. This large scale map of Lincolnshire is by Christopher Greenwood (1786-1855) and his brother John Greenwood (1791-1867). They were both surveyors. Christopher Greenwood was from Yorkshire and settled in Wakefield by about 1815, before moving to London in 1818. His first large-scale survey was of Yorkshire published in 1817. His brother John was also a surveyor and in 1821 they joined forces. Along with the distribution capabilities of George Pringle and Son, they made an immediate impact with their series of large scale surveys of many English counties.

The Greenwood maps were coloured as opposed to the more functional black and white Ordnance Survey's of the period. This is one of two published in 1830, it is one of the largest produced due to the similar one inch to the mile scale and the size of the county. The map is presented in two vertical strips. The western section bears a very large view of Lincoln Cathedral. It differentiates between woods, parks and pleasure grounds, heaths and commons, different types of waterway and road. Both watermills and windmills are identified indicating their significance to the local economy. The early 1800s was a time of rapid change in the landscape with the burgeoning industrial revolution. Although Rodger does not record any other editions this is the first state according to Carroll. Carroll (1996) no. 87 st. 1; Rodger (1972) 278; Tooley's Dictionary; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).

Along with the distribution capabilities of George Pringle and Son, they made an immediate impact with their series of large-scale surveys of many English counties.

Map First Edition
FIRST EDITION. Original large engraved map of London (127 x 189 cm) on six sheets joined, hand-coloured, dissected and mounted onto linen, housed in green morocco slipcase, gilt. The first edition of this incredibly detailed map of London, on a scale of 8 inches to a mile. The extents are Kentish Town in the north, clockwise to the River Lea, Greenwich and Kensington. Under the map is a dedication to George IV, a key and inset views of Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. In later editions, the dedication was moved to the title, with this florid script replaced by further mapping. Generally an excellent copy. Brothers Christopher and John Greenwood state in the title that the plan was made from an "Actual Survey", which had taken three years. Plans at the time were often copied from older surveys, or re-issued with minor updating; so conducting a new survey was indeed something to boast about. The plan, which was finely engraved by James and Josiah Neele, is stylistically similar to the Ordnance Survey maps of the time, although it was engraved on a much larger scale of 8 inches to the mile, compared to the OS one inch to the mile. It includes detailed depictions of streets, houses, public buildings, parks, squares, woods, plantations, rivers, hills, windmills; also the marking of the boundaries of the City of London, Westminster, Southwark, Rules of the King's Bench & Fleet Prison, Clink Liberty, counties and parishes. Below the plan is a dedication to George IV, which is flanked by views of Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral. The maps by Christopher and John Greenwood set new standards for large-scale surveys. Although they were unsuccessful in their stated aim to map all the counties of England and Wales it is probably no coincidence that of the ones they missed, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Oxfordshire, all except Cambridgeshire were mapped by Andrew Bryant in a similar style and at the same period. From a technical point of view the Greenwoods' productions exceeded the high standards set in the previous century though without the decoration and charming title-pieces that typified large scale maps of that period. The Greenwoods started in 1817 with Lancashire and Yorkshire and by 1831 they had covered 34 counties. Their maps were masterpieces of surveying and engraving techniques, and in view of the speed at which they were completed, their accuracy is remarkable. They mark the boundaries of the counties, hundreds and parishes, churches and chapels, castles and quarries, farmhaouses and gentlemen's seats, heaths and common land, woods, parliamentary representatives and distances between towns. The price of 3 guineas each compares with the the first edition Ordnance Survey sheets of 7s 6d, though the latter did not relate to complete counties. Howgego 309 (1). MOTCO Hyde state 2.
