Lincolnshire

In his History of the QTP (1987) Carr reported three editions of a map of Lincolnshire. Only two different maps have been seen but it is possible that the first edition was reissued with a different limitation or perhaps just printed in different colour ink but with the same limitation (see below). If there is a missing, different edition, it was probably issued in the mid-1970s.

MAP-LIN1: First edition, first impression?


Publisher: J.L. Carr

Year: 1970

ISBN: 0900847107

Limitation: 503 sheets

Size: 583 x 380 mm

Paper:

Colophon: sun face with address, lower left corner, next to limitation

Signed: Yes

Proofs where: AH (map & proof)

Notes: The limitation of 503 sheets is printed on the map and the number of the sheet has been added with the signature in black ballpoint pen. A version of this map has been seen in which the number in the limitation (503) is empty and a number has been added by hand in ball point pen, but it was so badly faded that the number couldn't be made out (see below, left). This map appears to have been reprinted and given the same limitation.
