Book Description
Engraved map with original hand-colouring, dissected and linen-backed, slight surface dust, the publisher’s imprint in the lower right corner largely erased through abrasion, with plain buff endpapers on verso bearing publisher’s advertisements for Mogg, one partially lost, folding into a contemporary green marbled slipcase, with the mapseller’s label of E.F. Gooch of 55 King William St, London Bridge, this bearing stencilled initials E.B.R., and a separate owner’s label of [Colonel] E. Birch Reynardson, [Howgego 372 (4)].
Dealer Notes
First issued in 1840, the map extends from Finchley to Tooting, and from Hanwell to Barking, occasionally overlapping the border. The original owner of this map, Colonel Edward Birch Reynardson, commanded the Grenadier Guards at the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.
