The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (1826-1848) was founded in London in 1826 with the object of publishing information for the English working and middle classes. Among its publications were several fine atlases consisting of separately issued maps between 1829 and 1943.

Engraved by the firm of J & C Walker, a partnership between John Walker (1790?-1873) and his brother Charles Walker (1799?-1872) formed about 1897. John Walker was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society.

Good example in original outline hand colour.
