Commemorative stamp, first day cover, and cancellation for An Post marking the bicentennial of the first Ordnance Survey of Ireland. The stamp design is based on high-resolution scans from the archives of Tailte Éireann, the government agency responsible for mapping, surveying, and registering property in Ireland. The cancellation depicts a 19th-century surveying device called a graphometer.
