New Edition of the map first produced in 1861 for James Reynolds by Ernest George Ravenstein (1834-1913), a German-born geographer and cartographer, who, in 1872, declined the position of chief cartographer at the Royal Geographical Society because he was refused permission to smoke on the premises.
