The plates have clearly been engraved as two series, of 20 and 11 plates respectively, at two different periods in time. The first series with a single line border, open letters and signed close to the image; the second series with double line border, partially closed letters and signed away from the image. As far as we can tell the second series might constitute part of the ^gPicturesque Delineation in the Counties of Devon and Cornwall^g published by Palser in 1811-12, but as any further publishing details on the plates appears to have been removed it is difficult to establish this with certainty. As the artist was not paid by his publishers on a royalty basis, but at a flat fee per plate of between 12 shillings and 2 guineas, the later publication of Prout’s work was at the mercy of whoever was willing to reissue the plates. Another work with which this private publication must be seen in connection is Prout’s 1819 ^gA Series of Views of rural Cottages in the West of England, drawn and etched in imitation of chalk …^g, published by Ackermann. As there is no logical order to the the sequence of plates in the volume we have reordered them alphabetically within each series, together with their present numerical position in square brackets.
