o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + 

I am not sure if this has already been announced to MapHist and the British 
list, lismaps, but if it has I make no apology for repeating the information. 
This is certainly one those rare, genuinely 'must have' reference books.  It 
has just been published:

British Map Engravers : A Dictionary of Engravers, Lithographers and Their 
Principal Employers to 1850

by Laurence Worms and Ashley Baynton-Williams



They may have been 'British' but their productions covered the globe.

For bibliographical and ordering details see:

And for an elegantly written, personal impression of the book see the entry on 
Tim Bryars's new blog:
