The Stanford map-making company had been active in London since 1854. After the death of John Arrowsmith in 1873, his stock, plates and copyright were purchased by Edward Stanford Sr., another London map publisher, in July 1874. Stanford, now owner of the Arrowsmith copyright, followed his illustrious predecessor John Arrowsmith with an updated version of the atlas, which he named Stanford's London Atlas of Universal Geography, in 1887. This updated version included plates by both Arrowsmith and Stanford. Stanford, like Arrowsmith, also sold loose maps, which he updated from time to time. The atlas continued to be published into the second decade of the twentieth century, as in this “Whitehall” edition. In addition to this printing, The David Rumsey Map Collection houses the 1882 (Pub List No. 14081.000), 1887 (14053.000), 1901 (5075.000), and 1904 (0949.000 ) editions of this atlas.
