Chris (et al. - including 'MAPS-L' list),

When he is able to you will be informed, by David McNeill (Map
Librarian) or a Collections assistant, that your requested sheet has
been retrieved from RGS-IBG Map Collection.

The RGS-IBG Map Collection's pressmark of 'Europe Div. 270' contains 53
untrimmed and undamaged sheets covering the Iberian Peninsula (& The
Balearics) - titled and/or punctuated variously as 'Frankreich' ;
'Portugal' ; 'Spanien' ; 'Spanien/Frankreich' ; 'Spanien Portugal' ;
'Spanien/Portugal' ; and 'Spanien - Portugal'.  Glorious pickings, here,
for a cataloguer (sorry: 'Cartographic metadata recorder/inputter').

All these are 'Ausgabe Nr. 1' save for sheets 'K30 NO2 Pau' ('Nr. 2')
and - lacking edn statement - 'Jot29 NO2 Caceres' & 'Jot31 NW2 Palma'.
Printing dates vary between I.1943 - X.1943 and XII.1943; NLS copy, too,
is dated 'K31 SW2 Barcelona' VII.1943 (?).

I write that RGS-IBG set is "untrimmed": very occasionally some of the
outer edges exclude portions of the full 'Ziehkante' and/or
'Greiferkante' areas; but all the usual marginalia are present. This
might open up possibilities for other collections to fill in their
missing bits (unless/until the whole series is scanned . . .).

We have a small project underway connected to maps of Barcelona at the
moment...

We'd be interested to hear from anyone out there with a copy of the
Deutsche Heereskarte, 1:200 000, 1st edition, 1943, K31 SW 2: Barcelona.
Our copy is torn and sadly missing an upper left hand side diagonal
wedge, and we'd be keen to receive (and happy to pay for) a scan of this
small section or the sheet.

Many thanks,

Chris
