Sidney Hall
(Source: Wiki) Sidney Hall (1788?-1831) was a British engraver and cartographer well known and popular for his early nineteenth century atlases containing maps of the United Kingdom and of the ancient world reproduced from Hall's engravings. Hall made engravings for a number of international atlases at a time when cartography and atlases were very popular. He also engraved a series of cards for the various constellations, published c.1825 in a boxed set called Uranias Mirror.
Sidney Hall's punched star chart of the constellation Auriga.Hall engraved maps for William Faden, Aaron Arrowsmith, and Chapman & Hall, among many others.
