William Faden was a prominent Scottish mapmaker (he dropped the "Mac" from his name when he moved to London), Royal Geographer to King George III and publisher during the late 19th and early 19th Centuries. He produced one of the finest set of maps during the American Revolution, as well as producing detailed charts from around the world.
