Framed Print of Greenoughs and Sharpe's Geological Map of Scotland
Geological Map of Scotland [1852], by George Bellas Greenough (1778-1855) and Daniel Sharpe (1806-1856). On 23 July 1851 a committee headed by George Bellas Greenough was appointed by Council to assess the extent of the Society's Map collection holdings and make suggestions as to its improvement. One of the recommendations was that a new geological map of Scotland should be produced. Council ordered that the Society should purchase a copy of Lewis Map of Scotland and that a further committee comprising of Greenough and Daniel Sharpe should undertake its geological colouring. This copy is one of three drafts which are extant in the archive of the collection of George Bellas Greenough. The neat colouring indicates that it was probably intended to be the final, finished copy. Instead a further version was produced with a slightly different colour scheme. Watercolour on engraved base Date: 1852. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © The Geological Society / Mary Evans
