Linen Map. Condizione: Very Good. A good example of the first large scale folding engraved wall map of Ireland, in 6 sheets (each sheet approx. 60cmx74cm) dissected and laid on cartographic linen, divided into 12 sections.(each section folds into approx 26cmx17cm) Overall size approx.150cm x 185cm. Scale 1:253,440. 1 inch to 4 Statute Miles. Each sheet is initialled and dated in lower right hand margin, conceivably by 'RG'. The dates read August 1st 1841. The handwriting seems similar to Griffiths' as it appears in his dated signature at the bottom of the Key. Full Title: A General Map of Ireland to Accompany the Report of the Railway of the Railway Commissioners shewing the principal and physical features and geological structure of the Country. Constructed in 1836 and engraved in 1837-38. Published and Sold by Hodges and Smith, Dublin and James Gardner, London with whom copies coloured geologically are deposited. Price 20/- plain. The linen is grubby and each map has the compass region in ink. The maps are clean and bright. The six sections have a very grubby sheet of cartographic linen encasing them. NOTES: Published in 6 separate sheets available flat or dissected on linen. These maps were sold in black and white, coloured by county or coloured geologically. The example here is coloured by county and has been dissected and mounted on linen. There is an extensive key over the west and south west sections with the engraved signature "Dublin March 28th 1829, Richard Griffiths" at bottom of Key. At the bottom of the Map is a key "Ideal Section shewing the relative positions of the several rocks both sedimentary and igneous." On the bottom south west corner is an extensive References & Authorities Section, together with the following note: The Map was constructed by order of the Government for the specific purposes of the Railway Commission - The Commissioners have caused it to be Engraved and Published in the hope it may prove of some general utility but it must not be considered as aiming at minuteness or accuracy of Detail. The note is signed in facsimile by Thos. A. Larcom, Lieut. R. Engr. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 2 kilogram. Category: Geography & Maps; Railways. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 3987. This map weighs over 1Kg and may involve extra shipping charges to some countries.

Exceptionally fine folding engraved wall map, in 6 sheets (each sheet 25 x 31 inches) laid down on cartographic linen in 12 sections (overall size 75 x 62 inches). A beautiful map showing the geology of Ireland in bright colours, with an extensive key middle left. This attractive and vibrant geological map of Ireland was the brainchild of George Bellas Greenough (1778-1855), who commissioned Griffith in 1811 to start work on the map. An early version of the map was probably displayed at Griffith's Dublin Society lectures during 1814, "but the absence of an accurate topographical base-map severely hampered the completion of the map. In an effort to remedy the deficiency he launched his own triangulation of Ireland (1819-24), but the arrival of the Ordnance Survey on the Irish scene during 1825 made his amateur efforts redundant. In 1825 Griffith [became] director of the general boundary survey of Ireland, and in 1827 commissioner of the general survey and valuation of rateable property. In the first of those two posts he was responsible for the identification and plotting of all of Ireland's county, barony, parish, and townland boundaries as a preliminary to their representation on the 6 inch maps of the Ordnance Survey. The second of the posts remained dormant until 1829, by which time the cartographic work of the Ordnance Survey had advanced sufficiently far to allow property valuation to commence, and he resigned his post of mining engineer to what since 1820 had been styled the Royal Dublin Society. "As commissioner of valuation Griffith conducted two valuation surveys of Ireland: the townland valuation (1830-c.1842) and the highly detailed tenement valuation (1852-65). The latter came to be known throughout Ireland as 'the Griffith Valuation'. He claimed-with only partial justification-that a knowledge of the local solid geology was basic to meaningful land valuation, and he therefore instructed his valuators (at its maximum his staff numbered well over a hundred) in the making of geological observations. But, however he might protest to the contrary, these observations were really intended for the improvement of his geological map of Ireland, and from 1835 he was running from within the valuation office an entirely unauthorized geological survey of Ireland. For protracted periods one of the valuators-the able Patrick Ganly-was employed solely upon geological field investigation. Griffith was ever adept at blurring the distinction between his official duties and his private interests, and the headquarters of the valuation survey was for long located within his Dublin home of fifty years at 2 Fitzwilliam Place. "Griffith's geological map of Ireland, still based on the inaccurate Irish map of Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823), elicited favourable comment when it was displayed before the British Association meeting in Dublin during August 1835. In October 1836 he became one of the four railway commissioners for Ireland, and persuaded his fellow commissioners that an understanding of regional geology was fundamental to the planning of the Irish railway system. In consequence the commissioners published his map, first in 1838 at a scale of 1:633,600, and then in May 1839 at a scale of 1:253,440, based on a fine new Ordnance Survey map of Ireland compiled under the direction of Thomas Aiskew Larcom. This magnificent quarter-inch geological map gives Griffith his claim to be hailed as 'the father of Irish geology'. Before 1855 the map underwent continuous revision, and during that year it was featured at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. Nevertheless, and despite Griffith's strenuous efforts, his making of the map failed to secure for him the directorship of the official geological survey of Ireland, established by the government in April 1845" (Gordon L. Herries Davies for DNB). Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
