The English Revised Version. C.J. Ellicott, ed., The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Translated out of the Greek: Being the Version Set Forth A.D. 1611, Compared with the Most Ancient Authorities and Revised, A.D. 1881. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1881

The full Bible including Apocrypha was completed in 1885. The RV clarified passages that had become difficult to understand, where English usage had changed, and where knowledge of ancient copies had been improved by new discoveries and scholarship.
