Edward Weller (1819-1884) was a London based engraver, cartographer and publisher working from offices in Red lion Square and later in Bloomsbury. Amongst his considerable portfolio were various atlases, many of which focused on the educational publishing market. Having established his credentials as an engraver of finely detailed works, he sold maps to be published in a number of regular magazines and pamphlets, perhaps the best known being "The Dispatch Atlas"; a compilation of maps Weller had already published in "The Weekly Dispatch". Although Weller usually engraved the maps himself, he did work in partnership with others, notably John Dower for this Atlas. Weller also published "The Crown Atlas" in 1871.
