Physical map of the British Isles and the surrounding seas', 1851

Physical map of the British Isles and the surrounding seas', 1851. Geographical diagram drawn and engraved by John Emslie, and published by James Reynolds, 174 Strand, London. The map depicts the physical geomorphology of Great Britain and Ireland, including the main upland regions, as well as the depths of the sea surrounding the British Isles, and tidal action. The small inset map at the bottom right shows the distribution of rainfall across the British Isles, and beneath the main map there are two sections, taken south to north from Beach Head to Cape Wrath, and west to east from Dingle Bay (on the west coast of Ireland) to Yarmouth. ©SSPL/Science Museum
