England: The Photographic Atlas combines photography and cartography in a single, 800–page volume that surveys the entire country in exquisite and unprecedented detail. Due to its substantial size and weight, the Atlas comes with a free, specially designed carrying case.

Reviews

Getmapping, the company responsible for creating the Millennium Map, an undertaking "to create a complete and accessible photographic record of the whole of the United Kingdom," has now conceived a volume with a much greater scope than its two companion volumes, London: The Photographic Atlas and Edinburgh: The Photographic Atlas. Charting the entirety of England, this gigantic volume, substantial in both size and weight (ca. 20 lbs.), is issued in a sturdy, plastic carrying case with handle. Its format is most similar to U.S. county real estate atlases published by Real Estate Data, combining both aerial photography and cartography. Full-color aerial photos with amazing clarity and detail predominate, reproduced here in several scales: 1:72,000 (rural areas), 1:36,000, 1:18,000, and 1:4500 (urban areas). They are followed by 14 color, double-faced maps at a scale of 1:288,000 intended to orient the user by area. An index offers grid access by place name to both the aerial photographs and the maps. The maps themselves offer direct grid references to the aerial photographs. This remarkable achievement is recommended for all libraries with cartographic collections or significant patron interest in England.
