DescriptionPhotographic facsimile of William Smith's table of strata (1799) commissioned by John Wesley Judd, 1897.
Administrative HistoryFour reconstructions of the table were commissioned by Prof J W Judd in 1897 (see article below), alongside Smith's circular map of Bath and Map of Strata, as the originals were so faded. The other copies were given to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum [transferred to Imperial College in 1926] and the British Library.
ProvenancePresented by the Science and Art Department per J W Judd, 1897. One of four produced.
