Geological Map of the British Isles by Edward Best, Geological Survey.
Classic folding engraved and hand-coloured geological map by Victorian geologist Edward Best; published by Edward Stanford in 1893 at Stanford's Geographical Establishment, 26-27 Cockspur St, Charing Cross, S.W. London. Light key coloured map with good readability.
Edward Best (1824-1906) was a British geologist. He was working for the Geological Survey of Great Britain for the most of his life, being first appointed an Assistant Geologist in 1855, and until retirement in 1893.
Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was a British Victorian publisher and the founder of famous Stanford's publishing company and map-selling shops in London and Bristol, UK. Educated in City of London School, Edward Stanford developed interest in maps while working for Mr Trelawney Saunders maps and stationary shop. In 1853 the Saunders company was dissolved and Stanford took over the business with intent to specialise in maps. At the time, British colonial expansion has created significant demand for maps, and Stanford's Geographical Establishment soon became a leading map publisher and seller in London. Stanford's name became prominent after he published Stanford's Library Map of London, the most accurate map of London to date, which is still being sold, after 150 years.
