Abstract:The only comprehensive catalogue of all the surviving printed maps of the county, together with explanatory and biographical notes about the maps and the mapmakers, has been produced for the Society by David Kingsley - an acknowledged expert in his field. Though designed primarily for map collectors, it has a much wider general appeal and all those interested in geography, topography, place-name history or the craft of surveying and cartography will find it an essential work of reference. Mr Kingsley's volume is likely to remain the definitive catalogue for a long time to come, and taken in conjunction with the Society's earlier CATALOGUE OF SUSSEX ESTATE AND TITHE AWARD MAPS (vols. 61 & 66 ed. F.W. Steer), means that there is now a comprehensive hand list of maps of Sussex from the earliest times to the present century. The volume has a foreword by Dr. Helen Wallis, Keeper of Maps at the British Library.
