A fine geological map of the country with bright original hand colouring illustrating the geological strata, an inset map of the Shetland Islands to the upper right of the north east sheet, geological cross sections from around the country underneath this also coloured, the map printed over four parts, each measuring c. 76 x 65 cm, i.e. 152 x 130 cm if joined, each part dissected into 24 sections and mounted on linen, marbled paper to each of the folded end sections with miniature outline maps to one side of each part,housed in publisher's green morocco slipcase with fold-in lid, gilt decorated and lettered spine with the gilt arms of Prince Albert (to whom the map is dedicated) to the upper board. Leather to the slipcase quite darkened, the lid to the case skilfully reattached, slight cracking to one joint thought he case remains sound, occasional browning to the map but a decent example of very attractive map overall. A revised version of the first edition of Knipe's magnificent geological map of the British Isles, first published in 1843. As with Knipe's previous notable geological map, that of England & Wales published from 1835 onwards, the map was reissued at intervals and updated with fresh data collected from fieldwork. This edition has a printed addenda of "authorities consulted", those whose contributions are recorded provide an illustrious roll call of Knipe's forerunners and contemporaries in the science: Smith, Greenough, Lyell, Mantell and Murchison to name but a few. Issues of the second edition appeared from 1851 onwards.…
