APPENDIX IV - White 9 - Leicester with Rutland

Title page from Google Books (Bodleian Library, Oxford copy)

The Maps

Leicestershire, and Rutland		1846
Leicestershire	2nd	1863	Publisher´s address is Fulwood Parsonage
Leicestershire	3rd	1877	Map not called for on 1877 TP. Publisher´s address is 18 & 20 Bank Street LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLANDSHIRE in title panel with BY J & C WALKER below. Large foldout map with imprint on 6 lines in different scripts below map centrally:  Published with WHITE’S History, Gazetteer & Directory of Leicester & Rutland. 1876. Size 310 x 390 mm.

Both of the first two editions call for a map (1846 and 1863). Although a map is not called for on the 1877 Title Page, there is, nonetheless, a map of both counties. White´s Essex has been seen with a map executed by J & C Walker and, although the Walkers invariably include their imprint below centrally, this is missing on the Essex map seen bound into a White directory of 1846. There is no White imprint. The map included in the Third Edition of Leicester was especially amended by Walker for White, and may have been the map delivered with the earlier directories.

LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLANDSHIRE in title panel with BY J & C WALKER below. Large foldout map with imprint in 6 type fonts: Published with WHITE’S History, Gazetteer & Directory of the Counties of Leicester & Rutland. 1876. Size 310 x 390 mm.

The map is clearly the map produced by J & C Walker for the British Atlas. However, there are significant differences apart from the White imprint quoted above. The title of the original map was simply Leicestershire (in capitals) in a double lozenge frame; for the directory the words and RUTLAND have been inserted into the frame, erasing part of the inner lozenge pattern. The list of returning MPs has been moved from the bottom of the map to occupy a space right of the title panel. The right hand bottom corner is now taken up by an inset map showing CONTINUATION OF RUTLANDSHIRE on the same Scale. This crosses the map margin at one point.
