Dulau – the Thorough Guide Series 

Dulau and company began their famous Thorough Guide Series: in 1882 (North Devon and Cornwall) and 1884 (South Devon and Cornwall). The editors (and probably also authors) were Baddeley and Ward, hence the series became known as the Baddeley & Ward series. In the two volumes, a total of 28 maps of areas of Devon and Cornwall were included. The Devon maps have been collated for the known editions. The list below shows which editions have been discovered so far and provides an overview of the editions and maps produced until 1901. More editions are likely to come to light. The first editions had the same maps with minor changes. In 1888 new maps were prepared and others were renumbered[1]. All maps were produced by the company of J Bartholomew.

The two lists should help in a) providing reference copies which can be checked and b) help in identifying loose maps (or helping to find missing maps when restoring copies). 

Illustrated are the inside cover overview maps from North Devon and North Cornwall Sixth Edition 1893 and South Devon and South Cornwall Fifth Edition 1900. Notes to individual maps, e.g. map number on EP map: MAP I (p.18) refer to these maps on inside cover (end papers); this may help to identify examples lacking title pages.

[1] However, early 1888 editions have the fourth edition text but still contain the third edition maps.
[2] This edition was published early and a paper inserted inside the end papers (dated March 26, 1888) explains the absence of the two new maps of the Lizard and Land’s End owing to delays. The text is the fourth edition and includes the ticket prices for 1887. Printed by J S Levin.
[3] Although the title page is dated 1892 several railway adverts are dated 1891 indicating either an earlier printing to cope with demand or leftover adverts being used.

  John Bartholomew –  Imperial Map 2 W H Smith was   founded c.1820 by Henry Edward   and his brother William Henry (who actually ran   the company). But it was not until Henry’s son, also William Henry (1825-1891), became a partner in 1846 that the firm became the well-known booksellers and stationers. In 1848 he started a newsagent shop at Euston with a concession from the L&NW Railway. This was soon to be converted into a virtual railway book-stall monopoly. The firm soon became the largest newsagent in the country and expanded further into circulating libraries.   William Henry later entered Parliament and became the First Lord of the Admiralty in 1877 (Gilbert & Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore was supposedly based on him). [1] W H Smith used to have an estate in Rewe in east Devon where he had a stable built opposite St Mary the Virgin church for the use of the parishioners so that they could tie up their horses. [2] At the same time as the maps ...

 John Bartholomew 8 -  for Charles Pearson   Charles Arthur   Pearson produced a number of Gossipy Guides   at the beginning of the 20th century. Styled along the lines of the Ward and Lock series of guides they were full of photographic material in a handy pocket size. The two guides relating to Devon were the Guide to Ilfracombe and District (cover title; number 4 in the series)   and Guide to South Devon (number 8 in the series).   Both British Library volumes have accession dates of 1901. It is interesting that Pearson took maps from different sources to include in his two Devon guides. The map of South Devon included in the South Devon Guide was a transfer of Bartholomew’s map: however, the map of North Devon is taken from the plates prepared by Ravenstein for George Philip & Son   in 1899. The scale reveals that this is a Philip’s map (see Pearson 1 ) .   Bartholomew Imperial Map 8 (Pearson)   Size: 257 x 385 mm. ...

 John Bartholomew 3 -  for Houlston & Wright / Houlston & Sons   Houlston and Wright , and later Houlston & Sons , were supplied by John Bartholomew with maps for their series of Tourists’ Maps . The output was impressive with maps covering most of England and Wales’ tourist areas but the maps seem to have been all produced between 1865-1875. Houlston and Wright advertised 27 maps on their map of Plymouth and Dartmoor (3c) but Houlston and Sons were advertising 50 maps only a few years later (on cover to 3d) but not Torquay. Although the British Library holds a copy of Sophie Veitch ‘s A Lonely Life   dated 1870 most of the early Houlston & Sons imprints are dated 1872. In the following year Houlston & Sons published a volume of N T Carrington’s poems (Noel Thomas Carrington   1777-1830) in conjunction with William Wood of Devonport. Dartmoor and The Banks of the Tamar were published as one volume, probably to exploit the fact that th...
