WILLIAM STEWART For Stewart´s map 1 executed by Charles King click here . For Stewart´s map 2 executed by Halfyard see below . Stewart 2 (Halfyard) William Stewart had had a map produced, originally lithographed by Charles King of Exeter, for his own reprints of The North Devon Handbook (see Banfield and especially Stewart 1) which appeared in a number of guides between 1872 and 1878. However, shortly before, or immediately after, his business was taken over by Milligan a new plate was engraved. This second map was lithographed by the company of F J Halfyard, of Exeter. Copies of the Fourth Edition of the North Devon Handbook (under Stewart’s imprint) have been seen with either the earlier or the later map. Either Stewart needed new map sheets but did not possess the original plates (or they had become damaged or worn); or Milligan acquired ready-printed copies of the North Devon Handbook which lacked the map and had to have a new map printed before selling the surplus Stewart
