1. Title
(top left): Map of the County Of Lincoln Reduced from the Actual
Surveys, London. Imprint: J Saunders Junr, 7 Dyers Buildings, Holborn, 1838 below
title. Area top right occupied by View of Lincoln. Engraver´s
signature (below left): Engraved by Jas Stevenson, 2 Southampton
Street, Pentonville. The whole map is now framed in its typical wide
leafy border.[1] In
Allen´s History of the County of Lincoln (1838). Published in
London by John Saunders Junior.
2. Title
(top left): Map of the County Of Lincoln Reduced from the Actual
Surveys, and Carefully Corrected to the year 1839. Imprint: Published
by J & J Jackson, Louth below title. Artist´s signature (below
right): Drawn by J Addison. Engraver´s signature
(below left): Engraved by Jas Stevenson, 2 Southampton Street,
Pentonville. Seen as folded map (in a plain cover).[2]
This map was
then possibly acquired by William White as the subsequent issues all bear the
imprint of White, with reference to his History and Directory. As usual,
the map was not bound in early directories, i.e. for 1842, 1856 and 1872, but the
map is found in the directory in the 4th and 5th editions. Nevertheless, loose
maps, maps on rollers or maps in covers, with a White imprint have been seen
which correspond (date-wise) to published dates of the directories. R A Carroll
has listed Lincoln maps thoroughly in his cartobibliography of the county.[3]
Title (top left): Lincoln reduced from the actual surveys, and carefully Corrected to the year 1841. Imprint: Published with White´s History and Directory of Lincolnshire. Artist´s signature (below left): Drawn by J Addison. Engraver´s signature (below right): Engraved by Jas Stevenson, 2 Southampton Street, Pentonville. Size: 54.5 x 45cm.

The Map(s)
Although not called for on the title page there is a note in
the Preface: The Whole is Illustrated with an entirely New map of the
County, on a Royal Sheet, handsomely engraved and coloured, and shewing the
boundaries of the Wapentakes and Boroughs; and a map is recorded in directory
issues for this year. The map was originally engraved by John Dower as one of a
long series for The Weekly Dispatch newspaper in 1858. The maps by
Dower, B R Davies and Edward Weller appeared in The Dispatch Atlas in
1863. After changing ownership, the map stones came into the possession of G W
Bacon who used them extensively, running off copies for another Lincoln
directory, Akrill, Ruddock and Keyworth´s Directory of the City of Lincoln
(1888).
