“Highly detailed map of Bombay, from the Weekly Dispatch Atlas.

‘The Weekly Dispatch’ newspaper, between the years 1856 and 1862, included in each edition a map of a part of the world. During this period a total of 118 maps were issued. The maps bear the distinctive sign of a half globe with the figure of Mercury above. The engravers varied but included John Dower and Edward Weller.

In 1863, ‘ The Dispatch Atlas’ was published,d which contained a series of English county maps. The two were combined in 1865 as ‘Cassell’s Complete Atlas’, with many maps in a large scale of areas not often seen, including a number a town plans.”
