Its footline explicitly records engraving at the Ordnance Survey Office, Phoenix Park, in 1839 under Lieutenant Larcom, R.E., by Sergeant West of the Royal Sappers and Miners, with ornament by William Archibald and writing by J. Aikman. Published and sold for Her Majesty’s Government by Hodges \u0026amp; Smith of Dublin, it shows Mayo’s nine baronies, Achill, Clare Island, Clew Bay and Killala Bay. The index itself is at three miles to one inch (1:190,080); the numbered grid identifies 122 six-inch survey sheets, rather than indicating its own scale. Panels explain survey conventions, record parish acreages and advertise 38 half-sheets and the index at 2s 6d each, with the remaining 84 sheets at five shillings. Dissected into sixteen linen-mounted sections with red silk edging, it retains its practical folding format. The front bears an inscription apparently reading “15th Septr 49”, probably 15 September 1849. The 1839 date is that of the engraving; the imprint’s 104 Grafton Street address, which Hodges \u0026amp; Smith occupied from 1844–45, shows that this impression was printed about 1845–49.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231580836187,"sku":"P-6-112382","price":360.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112382a.jpg?v=1790884690"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/killala-bay.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
