 JAMES WYLD Both Edward Stanford and G F Cruchley [1] produced folding maps concerning the military manoeuvres which took place on Dartmoor in 1873 . However, they were not the only publishers: James Wyld also published a map showing Dartmoor just in time for the manoeuvres which were held in the autumn of 1873. James Wyld published two maps of Devon: a reissue of the Baker/Faden map of 1799 ( B&B 62 , issued from circa 1861); and a reissue of W Faden’s map of 1816 (from 1833, B&B 80B ). He also issued other maps covering parts of Devon including maps by James Green [2] and John Pascoe [3] concerning proposed canal and road improvements. He also sold a map of Plymouth by John Cooke in a slip case with his label. Size: 755 x 850 mm. English Statute Miles (8F + 5M = 155 mm).

  The Guide Book   Scroll down for chapters on: Devon Guide Books Centres of Production - London Centres of Production - Edinburgh Centres of Production - Plymouth Centres of Production - The “Library” at Ilfracombe Centres of Production - Exeter Centres of Production - Teignmouth and Torquay Introduction One of the interesting developments of the Victorian age was that of the guide book. From earliest times some people had travelled, and travelled widely. There are numerous accounts of early travellers who journeyed long distances. Whether it was Julius Caesar in search of conquest, Arab treasure hunters seeking archaeological sites, merchant venturers such as Marco Polo in search of new trade routes or trading partners or people like John Bill , commissioned by Sir Thomas Bodley   to travel to the Frankfurt Book Fair   in order to buy the latest bestseller anno 1600, few either had maps or left maps behind or had the use of a travel guide in the modern sense.
