[INGLIS, William Arbuthnot.] The canals and flood banks of Bengal [thus titled to spine]. Calcutta: Survey of India Offices, 1908-1909. Very rare collection of important maps outlining plans to canalise parts of Bengal, irrigate agricultural land, and improve shipping routes. The maps were produced in the Survey of India Offices in Calutta, and some are signed by the local lithographers. Inglis' name is not mentioned on any of the maps, but the spine is titled as per his work on the subject published in 1909, and these are probably the maps that accompanied his text. Quarto (405 x 350mm). 11 folding lithographic maps mounted on guards, some printed in colours, the largest joined on 2 sheets and extending to 710 x 1440mm unfolded (first 3 maps with shorts splits or holes along creasefolds but with only very minor insignificant loss, last 2 maps with very short marginal tears one into image but without loss, maps III and IV spotted, occasional light scattered spotting to some others, all slightly cockled from adhesion onto guards at gutter). Contemporary half calf (spine very defective with the spine label just remaining).
