21 George Cole (1793–1850) – Map of Devon – Hand-Colored Engraving from Railway & Pedestrian Atlas (1858)

This hand-colored engraving of Devon is part of George Cole's Railway & Pedestrian Atlas, published in 1858. Unlike the maps published by Aikin and Phillips, Cole is both the publisher and the cartographer, known for his intricate depictions of railway lines, pedestrian routes, and key geographical features. His work is characterized by precision and clarity, serving as essential travel guides during the height of Britain's railway expansion. The Devonshire map is detailed with important towns, infrastructure, and clearly marked roads, reflecting the industrial and logistical priorities of mid-19th-century England.
