CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: [Celtic Earthworks of] Salisbury Plain based on air photographs - Old Sarum

Osbert Guy Stanhope Crawford was the first Archaeology Officer to be appointed by the Ordnance Survey. He produced "period maps" in which archaeological sites were marked; these included Celtic Earthworks of Salisbury Plain, which were based on aerial photography; these maps are now scarce. He was a pioneer of aerial archaeology, claiming that this new process was to archaeology what the telescope was to astronomy. His association with it was honoured in H.G. Wells' 1939 novel "The Shape of Things to Come", which names a survey aeroplane that discovers an ancient archaeological device "Crawford".
