Description: Printed Maps of Devon
In 1996 Francis Bennett and myself published our first book on the maps of Devon and listed all known maps printed between 1575 and 183 7 showing the whole of the county of Devon on either one or two sheets. Although this omitted Ordnance Survey sheets and those atlases designed on a sheet basis, this meant that we were still able to list 117 different maps along with their sources and provide information on the people behind them.
This site is the internet version of the revised Second Edition of The Printed Maps of Devon .
Since the original work was published (now out of print) more maps have come to light and new information discovered so that the present work includes a total of 119 different maps incorporating over 300 states (i.e. including variations) and references nearly 1200 sources of atlases and maps. These are all included here in this site. Furthermore, as the authors are no longer restricted to the A4 format, we have been able to include extra information on many of these issues.
