| Description | Geological map of the county of Northumberland, manuscript colouring by or after Nicholas Wood, [after 1831], on base map 'A New and Correct Map of the County of Northumberland divided into Wards', engraved by Jones, Smith & Co, published by Charles Smith, 1825. With key. Greenough no.273. Scale-1:220,000, 54cm x 47cm. Dissected on cloth.
Note: The colouring is from 'Wood, Nicholas', "On the Geology of a part of Northumberland and Cumberland", 'Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham and Newcastle Upon Tyne', vol 1 (1831), pp302-334', plate XXVIII. However it is unclear if the map was actually coloured by Wood or was copied from Wood's map by Greenough himself. As the colouring is not complete nor uses the same tones and the terminology is slightly different then it may be the latter. |
