Does anyone know of any mapping (ideally British, topographic and
recent) where two alternative versions of the same mapping are
offered on one piece of paper, back to back? The only examples
which I can lay my hands on are:
OS of Great Britain: index, 1:1M, with 1:25,000 Pathfinder on one
side and 1:10,560/10,000 on the other: several editions in 1980s.
OS of Ireland, 1:50,000 Sheet 54, Preliminary Edition, 1989: one
issue has nearly co-extensive Landsat imagery on the reverse
OS Northern Ireland: Sleive Croob Outdoor Pursuits Map, 1:25,000,
1995: one side is 1:10,000 reduced combined with 1:50,000 enlarged
(!); the other side is 1:50,000 outline detail only.
Of course, I know about cases where maps are printed back to back
at different scales (e.g. street map plus `environs' map) or different
dates (e.g. some Godfreys), or to maximise geographical coverage
(loads of OS examples) but no others where, effectively, the same
thing is said twice, but with different grammar and vocabulary.
(Readers - or suffers - of recent postings of mine can perhaps guess
the direction in which my thoughts are tending!!)
