The ‘Reynolds’ Travelling Atlas of England’ was first published in 1848 by James Reynolds (fl. 1848-60). Reynolds was elected to the Royal Geographical Society in 1874. The maps were all engraved by John Emslie (1813-75). Born in Surrey he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1863. From 1860 Reynolds used these maps for a ‘Geological Atlas of Great Britain’ in lithography adding to each county coloured geological delineation’s. The atlas was also expanded with a geological map of Scotland.
