The original maps taken from the same plate were published by George Philip from 1862 and appeared in Philips' Atlas of the Counties of England until the early twentieth century with revisions. Some time around 1885 George Philip began to issue them in the form seen here. Large folding map of the county of Sussex (sheet size 365 x 450 mm) with printed colour denoting sea (pale green) and cycling information (red) laid on linen. Map mainly clean throughout, two spots (in sea area) and red card on linen cover still generally good. Rare state of this map. This seems to be one of the earlier cycling issues with less publishing information on the insides of the covers.
