DescriptionTwo folded map books:

1. Map of Asia Minor, edited by J.G.C. Anderson and drawn by F. Bosse, published by John Murray 1903 (Murray's Handy Classical Maps). The same edition as the map MS 3286/8/1, but in its original cover with index and evidently much less used.

These include: notes on place names; a sheet with pencil notes headed "Corrections for Map"; an encyclopedia entry on Galatia; a French article on the mysteries of Eleusis; a letter to Anderson from Ramsay dated 25 May 1914 referring to a drawing of a milestone from Genua on the reverse.

2. "A Map of the Countries between Constantinople and Calcutta" published by Edward Sandford, London 1878. Folded map on canvas in covers; with manuscript additions of lines from Erzerum to Baghdad / Busshireh / Herat, with distances in miles.
