The Weekly Despatch Atlas was published in parts between 1857 and 1863. The plates were then acquired by Cassell who published the collection as an atlas in 1863. A second edition was published in 1865. The plates were later purchased by G W Bacon, who re-issued the maps in 1876.
In addition to Edward Weller, other engravers who created plates were John Dower, B R Davies and T Etting.
