One-inch New Popular Edition map of Great Britain. Scale 1:63,360, 1940 - 1949
Scope and Contents
Maps.KGM 19.1 = Coloured edition ; Maps.KGM 19.2 = Outline edition. Most of the maps were stored in large slip-cases made by Guy Messenger made out of cardboard (sometimes recycled corn-flake cereal boxes) and tape or sticky-back plastic (usually black), but only samples of these boxes have been retained. Maps at Maps.KGM.19.1 were listed by Map Department staff in May 2019 and sheet titles taken from the cover (the original cover or a Guy messenger cover unless absent in which case they are taken from the map). The absence of an original cover has not always been noted.
