Rough Sketch Of The Country Round Kingston, Jamaica ...
|
Originally sold at half a crown and lithographed by the Intelligence Division of the War Office, June 1891, this is a detailed map of Kingston and environs. Based on existing maps but updated with the observations and work of five commissioned officers of the army, the map also makes reference to Admiralty charts used in its composition. It bears the imprint of Edward Stanford in Cockspur Street. The harbour is clearly depicted and detail extends northwards to the Iron River. Individual farms and properties are named and good physical detail of the rivers and land relief is also shown. Transport routes to include roads and the Jamaica Railway are also given. The site of the very successful Great Exhibition of 1891 is shown near the racecourse. Laid on canvas. A fascinating and detailed record.
