Provenance: 'Reynolds's Geological Atlas of Great Britain, comprising a series of maps geologically coloured ...', published by James Reynolds, London, 1864-89.
Condition: Excellent condition. Centrefold as published. Light age toning. Very slight split at the top end of the centrefold, barely visible when the map is laid down. Please study all the photographs carefully to fully appreciate the condition.
NB. The source atlas included a coloured geological key to use in conjunction with the maps. A scan of this key will be included with the map.
