Maps, The Commercial and Library Atlas of the British Isles from the Ordnance Survey, published by G W Bacon and Co, Strand, London, 1895.
Plates in this atlas begin their life in the Dispatch Atlas, maps by Edward Weller, issued with the Weekly Dispatch newspaper from 1856-62. They are reproduced by lithographic transfers at different scales up to as late as the 1930s, new maps being added to the series from time to time (see Smith 1985). G W Bacon used the plates in the Commercial atlas in 1895.
