Mediterranean Sea, Italy, The Faro or Strait of Messina / published at the Admiralty 6th Dec. 1889 ; Engraved by Edwd. Weller

Acquired by gift Oct. 8, 1918 from Allison V. Armour. In the minutes of the November 7, 1918 AGS Council meeting, Allison Armour was thanked for his donation of 433 Admiralty Charts to the Society. "These charts fill many gaps in the collections of the Society and are of special value at this time on account of their frequent use by the Government Commisssion now established temporarily in the house of the Society." It is likely that Armour's maps were consulted by the delegates for the Inquiry to the Peace Conference at Versailles, 1918-1919.Relief shown hachures and spot heights. Depths shown by soundings.; Selected lights hand colored in yellow and red.; Includes notes.; "Allison V. Armour Yacht Utowana" -- stamped near title.
