James Reynolds, 1861.

First edition of this popular map, in later binding of publisher's blue boards with blind stamped decoration and gilt lettering on the upper cover. Folding linen backed map, extending to 103 inches. Printed in black and blue with notes on fishing, hotels, bridges and locks etc. A very good copy, cloth showing some signs of wear but map intact.

Details the East or New Weir at Grafton, which was demolished in 1869, and was thus removed from later editions.
Ravenstein notes: "The town of Henley is finely situated: above and below the scenery is charming."
