About this Item: Old House Books, Devon, England, UK, 1991. Condition: As New. E.G. Ravenstein FRGS (illustrator). A facsimile color reproduction (published in 1991) of a unique map originally published by James Reynolds & Sons in 1893, it served as an up-to-date Victorian guide at that time for the riverside paths along the Thames, as well as the river itself. Includes sights to see along the river, riverside inns, railways, towns and villages, locks and weirs, best places for fishing, etc. Compiled by E.G. Ravenstein FRGS and computed from the original one inch to the mile Ordnance Survey Maps. Measures six and a half inches wide and over eight and a half feet long when fully opened. Folds neatly into a compact 6.5" x 9" with its own envelope-like slipcase (this slipcase is somewhat creased with some minor stains; the map itself is in pristine condition). Includes a small booklet that provides a historical context of the map and the river; written by Richard Way, a specialist bookseller on rowing and the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames. In excellent condition. Folded Map with Procket. Seller Inventory # E4294
