<p>*** CORRECTION ***</p>
<p>I misstated that the British Isles was the only supplement map published three times.</p>
<p>A second map, from the May 1942 issue, was reprinted with a map index and with an article reprint.</p>
<p>That map was of North America and preceded the British map by almost seven years.</p>
<p>I regret the mistake.</p>

<p>Just thought I'd throw out one more map: "Shakespeare's Britain" May 1964.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the info, Mel. Unfortunately, none of my copies of this map seem to be the 1962 revision. I'll have to keep my eye out for it.</p>

<p>These are lovely maps, Phil. Interesting that the 1937 map also has the number/letter grid but I can find no reference to it having an index produced like the 1949 map had.</p>

<p>I would suggest, however, that this "style" of decorative map is in-fact an extraordinary production, and perhaps, the reason the NGS gave it so much attention.</p>

<p>A few other little tidbits:</p>
<p>The 1947-69 Cumulative Index (CI) lists the map titled, "The British Isles," as being published in the April 1949 issue, but also lists the map by the same title as being <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>revised</strong></span> (with no indication of being a supplement) in April 1962. If this map is in-fact a revision of the April 1949 map it would be a considerable "catch" for your collection. Hint, hint....:)</p>
<p>Of note, are other maps titled, "British Isles," published in July 1958 and again in July of 1965. These maps are the standard lat/long maps we are accustomed to and not like this beautiful production.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Centennial CI also lists the above references <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>{with the exception of the April 1962 revision*}</strong></span> along with the October 1979 Medieval production of, "The British Isles."</p>
<p>The Medieval production is also a beautiful, albeit second to this reference, production.</p>
<p>* In days long gone, we on this forum have discussed the "disappearance" of map references in the CI's (and in some cases map indexes) that were NOT issued supplements. One theory posited was that the revisions were made available in the NGS store located at the HQ in D.C. and once sold out all references to these unpublished supplements disappeared.</p> The earlier June 1937 edition…tag:ngscollectors.ning.com,2017-11-14:1029239:Comment:1456702017-11-14T04:18:12.188ZPhilip Rivierehttp://ngscollectors.ning.com/profile/PhilipRiviere
