Sir William Johnston (1802-1888), was founder of the engraving, printing and publishing business of W. Johnston which was appointed engravers to King William IV and Queen Victoria. In 1826 his younger brother Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-1871), became a partner and through his influence the firm of W. & A.K. Johnston began cartographic production. It was following publication of the finely engraved and detailed maps for The National Atlas that the firm were appointed Geographers to the Queen.
