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.

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.
