Comments on map:

In The official guide to the Great Western Railway, London, Cassell, 1897 [BM receipt 30 De 96 blue], f.p. 86. Only included on grounds of completeness. Apparently photo-engraved, possibly by Walker & Boutall: see Exeter 19026-9, e.g. Bottom left: 'The Official Guide to the Great Western Railway', bottom right: 'Cassell & Company, Limited, London'. Monochrome: printed in sepia. (Some other tipped-in maps in sepia in this volume were lithographed by Wyman & Sons.) As with Exeter 24121, a striking lack of text.
