Bacon’s Motoring and Cycling Road Map: South Ireland (1910)

£18.00

G.W. Bacon & Co. Paperback. Folding 90×52 cm cloth map, 5 miles = 1 inch. Date is an estimate – survey date is pre-Partition, but I think this is post 1900 when G.W. Bacon was acquired by W.& A.K. Johnston and became a mere brand. I think the WHT is the 1878-1942 one. Condition: Used – Very Good. Mild suggestion of crease on front cover, marked WHT (= William Henry Tangye), small fold-tear on map. . ISBN: none. Box MC13
