Provenance: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, their sale, Rachel Davis Auction September 21st, 2013, lot 512 Sixth edition (first published in 1872), published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year and with many more photos and maps than in previous editions of the entire length of the Thames.

Taunt was a renowned photographer of the second half of the 19th-century, having taken his first photograph of a group in Exeter College quad in about 1858.
