SPECIAL AUTUMN DISCOUNT PRICE *** View your area as it was in the 1920s - it has never been easier to compare the past with today. Cassini Historical OS Maps can be used with your modern Ordnance Survey Landranger® map to compare the past with the present. This map is based upon original Ordnance Survey 'Scottish Popular Edition' maps which were first published in the 1920s. They have all been carefully scanned, digitally re-projected and enlarged to cover the same area of the corresponding modern OS Landranger® and use the same sheet number and grid references, so enabling the past and the present to be compared with ease and accuracy. The Cassini Historical OS Maps of Edinburgh provide a unique and fascinating overview of 100 years of Edinburgh’s rich history from 1857 to 1957. Each Cassini OS map explores a crucial period in Edinburgh’s recent history: the mid Victorian(1857-69), the Edwardian era (1905-07), the dawn of the motoring age (1926-28) and Edinburgh's re-emergence from a harrowing period of conflict and post-war austerity (1956-57). Each of the four maps covers an identical area, matching the scale and coverage of the present-day Ordnance Survey Landranger® 66: all available in our Ebayshop; The publishers price is £7.99, post & packing is included.
