His company, George Bacon and Co. published many notable atlases, such as The New Ordnance Atlas of the British Isles, based on earlier plates by Edward Weller which Bacon modified. Bacon and Co. bought J. Wyld's map publishing business in 1893, going on to merge with W. & A. K. Johnston at the turn of the 20th century. | |
