 Appendix II:

 Books of Prints and Single Prints published by Edward Croydon and Sons

S.64.

Croydon´s first book of views was:

A GUIDE TO THE WATERING PLACES on the Coast Between the Exe and the Dart; including Teignmouth, Dawlish & Torquay, embellished with a general view of Teignmouth and Dawlish, and the various Seats Around Them, with a short description of the neighbourhood; to which will be subjoined, by special leave, from the Honourable Board of Ordnance, a reduced part of their grand map, dedicated, by permission, to the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Exmouth.

The first bound edition had: Title page imprint: Teignmouth: Printed and Sold by E. Croydon, Public Library; Sold also at Gore´s Dawlish, and Gilbert´s Torquay. 1817. Dedication page to Lord Visct. Exmouth dated August 12th, 1817. Octavo, 16 hand-coloured plates, 4 of them fold-out, and large fold out Map of Teignmouth and its Vicinity. Three parts, Teignmouth (95 pp), Dawlish (84 pp), Torquay (72 pp), and Conchology (20 pp). 8 pages of subscribers. Although dated 1817, several views are dated 1818, hence all first issues are 1817 (1818).


 There are four bound copies recorded in influential publications:

1.   J R Abbey - 1817

2.   R V Tooley – 1817

3.   R V Tooley – 1821

4.   Somers Cocks – 1821 – Entry S.64

Additionally, the author has two copies dated 1817 and 1819. For details of all of these see my web page here.

 Entry according to Somers Cocks with dates added from my 1819 copy which is uncut.
