Item description from seller

Original large-scale engraved map of Windsor Forest and its environs (96 x 130 cm), sectionalised, laid onto linen, and folding between drab paper endpapers into publisher's original green cloth covers stamped in blind and lettered in gilt. Embellished with decorative calligraphic title and compass rose. Later (c.1850) neat manuscript addition of local railway lines. Publisher's advertisements to front pastedown. Covers respined, map with some light tonging, some spotting visible to verso, generally a very good copy of this impressive survey. A rare separately published map of the environs of Windsor Forest from Staines in the West, Bagshot in the South, Twyford in the West and Maidenhead in the North. Walter is not recorded in Worms and Baynton-Williams. Copac lists only two institutional copies (British Library and Oxford University) and Worldcat only one (British Library). This map appears to have been reissued by Alfred E. Harrison in 1856 under the title "A Map of Windsor Forest and its Vicinity from Actual Survey by The late Henry Walter, Revised & Corrected to the Present Time". This map shows the railway lines. It is possible that the previous owner of the present map consulted the later issue to add in the railway lines by hand. "Sold by E. Mogg No. 51 Charing Cross".…
