London Environs. James Reynolds' lithographed map covers from St. Albans to Godalming, and from Rayleigh to Farnham. It is in printed colour, linen-backed (but not dissected), and folds into boards covered in red cloth, gilt.
These maps were drawn and engraved by John Emslie, and first published in 1848 as Reynolds Travelling Atlas of England. In 1860 geological data was added and the maps were re-issued as Reynolds Geological Atlas of Great Britain. There were later editions of the Geological Atlas in c1864 (when the maps were first issued geologically coloured), and in c1867, c1869 and 1889. Editions from 1864 were by lithographic transfer from the original intaglio plate. This example, in original hand-colour, dates from 1864 or later.
