From The Dispatch Atlas. Double page map of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, with surrounding counties also partially visible. Originally printed and bound as two separate sheets, the sheets are now glued together to make one large-scale map. Between 1857 and 1863, the British newspaper The Weekly Dispatch published a series of maps. Over 100 maps were produced, and in 1863, the maps were gathered together to form The Dispatch Atlas. The atlas contained county and country maps, as well as several city maps. Each of the maps featured a distinctive image of a half-globe with a winged mercury above. Edward Weller, FRGS (d.1884) was an engraver, publisher and cartographer. He had premises in London at 34, Red Lion Square (1861) and Duke Street, Bloomsbury (1872). He often worked for George Philip and Son, and William Collins, Sons, & Co. Many of his maps were included in student atlases. Weller's business was continued by his wife Mary Anne (d.1887) and his son Francis Sidney (d.1910). Condition: Central horizontal join, and some time toning to sheet. Some creasing to sheet, and small tear to right edge, not effecting printed area. |
