Huntingdonshire

Carr reported in his History of the QTP (1987) that there were two editions of maps of Huntingdonshire. I think that two impressions of the same map have been published, both with the same limitation. They are printed in different colour inks and are slightly different in size. If you have a map with a different design, please let me know.

MAP-HUN1.1: First edition, 1st impression?


Publisher: J.L. Carr, 27 Mill Dale Road, Kettering

Year: 1971

ISBN: 0900847220

Limitation: 350 sheets

Size: 560 x 421 mm

Paper: thin off-white card

Colophon: sun face with address, centre left at base of printed area

Signed:

Proofs where: Kettering Public Library (map); AH (map and proof); British Library (accession date 1 Oct 71)

Notes: I'm pretty sure that this is the first impression. The image of Cromwell and the decoration top right are printed in dark green and the main part of the map is printed in pale greenish ink. The bar above the title Huntingdonshire is gold but another map has been seen in which it is silver, so this has been added. The labels on the wreath, lower left, are decorated in yellow, perhaps by hand.

The proof in the British Library is signed by J L Carr and dated August 1971.

ISBN: none

Limitation: 980 sheets

Size: 573 x 454 mm

Paper: not seen

Proofs where: Not seen

Notes: This is probably the second impression. The image of Cromwell and the decoration top right are printed in dark blue. The bar above the title Huntingdonshire is green. The main part of the map is printed in pale brown ink. The labels on the wreath, lower left, are decorated in blue, perhaps by hand. The sheet on which the map is printed is slightly larger than the impression shown above indicating that it was in a different print run.
