Maps from the official history

Large files in .JPEG format. Once loaded they will be too large for normal screens so should be saved (right click a link and choose "save image as") and printed as large as possible. They have been presented in this way as any reduction in size will cause the loss of some detail, much of which is quite fine. Some of the originals were near to A3 in size.
