Photolithographically printed in black on one side of a 51 x 63 cm. piece of cloth, folding into a 16.5 x 11 cm. packet, in green printed cloth covers backed with card. In good condition, lightly-aged, with minor signs of age and wear. Cover reads: 'Transvaal. | (Major Jackson's Series). | Sheet No. 37. | Melmonth. | Field Intelligence Department. | Pretoria, 1901.' Signed in pencil on front cover 'G S Scovell | Cam Hrs.' In top left-hand corner of map: 'No. 37'. In bottom left-hand corner: 'Compiled in Surveyor General's Office - Pretoria underdirection [sic] of MAJOR H. M. JACKSON R.E. Mch. 1901 | From Transvaal Farm Surveys - Zululand portion from Map supplied by Surveyor General Natal'. In bottom right-hand corner: 'Photo-Lithographed - Pretoria - June 1901. | Mapping Section - Field Intelligence Dept - Army Head Qrs.' E. Liebenberg, in a paper titled 'The Cartographic Legacy of the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902', describes the 'valuable work' done by Jackson until the cessation of hostilities when he became Surveyor-General of the Transvaal Colony. As he explains, 'Major Jackson's Transvaal and Natal Series', of which the present item is a part, was the second of three series (the first being the 'Imperial Map of South Africa', and the third the 'Transvaal and Orange River Colony Degree Sheet Series), its deficiencies the result of the hurry with which it was compiled: 'Major Jackson's Transvaal and Natal Series was initiated by Major H M Jackson, head of the Topographical Section of the FID soon after Pretoria was occupied in June 1900. Also known as the First Transvaal Series, this series consisted of 74 sheets of irregular size covering the whole of the Transvaal (except the extreme north-eastern portion), Naral, Zululand and Swaziland, and part of the former Bechuanaland. The maps were printed in monochrome on linen-backed paper and were, like the Imperial Maps, folded to pocket size for easy usage on horseback. Compiled in a hurry for urgent military use, the maps are of a poor standard and it is uncertain whether they were of much use for military purposes. Although farm names and farm boundaries are shown, the physical topography is merely sketched in and no altitudes are given. According to Jackson himself, these maps were based on a mere 'patch-work' of farm diagrams and as such included much information that was of dubious value - if not positively misleading'. From the papers of Lieutenant-Colonel George Julian Selwyn Scovell of the 1st Cameron Highlanders, for more information regarding whom see his obituary in The Times, 29 April 1948, and his entry in Who Was Who. Scovell's diaries covering his period of service in the Boer War are offered separately. …

Carbon copies on 14pp. of an 8vo exercise book with cloth spine and marbled covers, 'Supplied for the Public Service'. In fair condition, with signs of age, wear and active service. An evocative item, giving a sense of the day-to-day duties of a British junior officer in the Boer War. Entries mainly with facsimile signature of Scovell (whose other papers are offered separately). Other items with facsimile signatures F H White and one other. One page is headed 'Orders for Pickets' and gives five orders, the fourth of which is: 'Each picket commander is responsible that the latrines are filled in - that the ground is cleaned up round the picket, and that all rubbish is buried'. Another page is headed 'To the S. O. | D Col Grenfell's Column' and reads: 'May I send out a wood party at 8.30 to-morrow morning S. E. of Camp? | Strength, 2 Officers, 50 men | Major | Commdg Det | 1st Cameron Hrs. | 8.30. p.m. | 31st May.' Headings include: 'Payment of Canteen Stores at Brakspoint', 'Copy of Picket orders', '12th May | Money due from following Coys to President Canteen', 'Officer's [sic] ', 'Officers Subscriptions'. A note from Scovell to 'Alston' regards the return to 'the Transport at Klerksdorp' of 'the Knock (from wheeled cart)', given to the battalion by Col. Grenfell, 'soon after leaving the W. Line'.…
