The London Atlas is one of the finest English nineteenth-century atlases published in England, compiled and published by John Arrowsmith (1790-1870), a leading English mapmaker and publisher. Arrowsmith was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society, and nephew of Aaron Arrowsmith, another outstanding English cartographer. Arrowsmith continued to revise and update his maps after their first appearance. The London Atlas was first published in 1834; a new edition appeared in 1842. The atlas continued to be re-issued with the 1842 title, but with the date of the preface and imprints on individual maps revised.
