 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).

WILLIAM WOOD A popular local guide first published c.1855 was The Hand-Book to South Devon and Dartmoor . The author was probably William Wood, a publisher with premises in Devonport. He published a great number of local guide books including ten editions of the Hand-Book of Devonport , the Three Towns’ Almanack , from 1860 until 1896, Rambles and Excursions (of Plymouth) and the Handbook to Cornwall (c.1880). All these works were illustrated with maps. The first two editions of the South Devon handbook included a close copy of the Ebden/Duncan county map first published in 1825 (95, see also 129A in Victorian Maps ) and which had recently reappeared in Henry George Collins’ The New British Atlas . However, when the Hand-Book was reissued as the Third Edition only a few years later this large map was replaced by one of the southern part of the county. Later copies of the almanack also contained this smaller map of South Devon, possibly amended by W G Cooper, engraver and lithographer...
