Our Own Country ...
Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial was produced originally in 1882 (two volumes in a five-volume set are
dated) and sometime later also for subscribers in 6 volumes. There were five
maps in total covering Devon, each set in a page of text in the various
volumes. The maps are: Map of the Course of the Plym, Map of North Devon, Map
of South Devon, Old Plan of Exeter (a small copy of Braun & Hogenberg) and Map of Exeter. Although the volumes are packed
with maps and plans, many have no scale and only maps in the fifth volume of
the early set had a printer’s signature. All maps are very small with little
detail.
Cassells also published J R Chanter´s Lundy Island complete with a map of the island possibly executed by Chanter himself and a further map of Exeter was published in their guide to the L&SWR in 1888 (57).
Title: MAP OF EXETER.
Size: 85 x 134 mm with no scale, no signature or imprint.
The area covered is from
Hermitage to Heavitree and only shows the roads and the railways. This appears
in Volume 2, p.161 of Our Own Country ...
Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial published in London, Paris &
Melbourne by Cassell & Co., Ltd in 1882 with reissue in 1898.
