Note References the origins of the idea of using contours for relief depiction, proposed by Philippe Buache in 1752 for bathymetry. See Rumsey Historical Map Collection's Bauche atlas of 1770, entitiled, "Cartes et tables de la geographie physique ou naturelle", wherein bathymetric contours were used for the English Channel. Contours were apparently first used for terrestrial topography by M. Dupin Triel in 1784 on a map of France entitled, "New Method of Expressing Altitudes on Maps with a Memoir by M. Du Caila." Numerous additional references to further information on contours also provided.

Note Our estimated date of 1952 may be early because there is a note on this Legend page which states: "Avvertenza, tutti i dati riportati in cifre o espressi per mezzo di diagrammi nelle tavole economiche, quando ne sia taciuta la data, si riferiscono alle piu recenti statistiche ufficiali pubblicate sino al 1958 dai singoli Paesi o da Enti supernazionali (O.N.U., F.A.O., ecc.). Nei casi in cui i valori di produzione variano sensibilmente da un anno all'altro si e preferito reportare, anziche il dato piu recente, la media del dati relativi a piu anni consecutivi." A rough translation to English is "Warning, all data reported in figures or expressed by means of diagrams in the economic table, the date when it is silenced, refer to the most recent official statistics published up to 1958 by individual countries or supranational bodies (UN, FAO, etc..). In cases where the production values vary considerably from year to year and is preferred to report, rather than the more recent data, the average data for the most consecutive years."

Note In color. The "Survey of Western Palestine" covered 6000 square miles and includes the set of these 26 highly detailed maps, and 50 plates supplemented by nine volumes of extensive writings on all aspects of Palestine: Memoirs on the topography, orography, hydrography and archaeology of Galilee, Samaria and Judea (one volume each), Special Papers on topography, archaeology, manners and customs, Jerusalem, Fauna and Flora, Geology, also Arabic and English Name Lists and a complete General Index. The Survey was intended to include at a later date Eastern, Southern and Northern Palestine. In fact only one volume on Eastern Palestine was published, and has been included in a 1997 printing of the survey volumes. This copy is special for several reasons: it is likely the 3rd issue of the 26 sheet map and was printed by Edward Stanford instead of the Ordnance Survey which produced the first two issues earlier in 1880 (information from the reports of the Palestine Exploration Fund found online) and it appears that Stanford used a slightly different printing method, the background color being black instead of the brown tone found in the first two issues. And, bound with this copy are four additional maps of Palestine made by Stanford and based on the 26 sheet survey (two of the additional maps are dated 1881 and 1882 respectively, indicating that this bound volume was issued in 1882). One of the two authors of the survey, Lord Kitchener, later to be the Secretary of State for War and the highest-ranking British officer to be killed in the First World War, spent his early years in the army as a surveyor. He produced two monumental maps: this one of Palestine, on 26 sheets, and a 15-sheet map of Cyprus, published in 1885. Kitchener's Palestine survey was important: not only because it was so accurate that it is are still consulted by archaeologists and geographers, but also because the northern limit of the survey is now the border between Israel and Lebanon.
