Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was an English mapmaker and publisher, and the founder of a map and globe company that still flourishes today. After a brief partnership with T.W. Saunders as Saunders & Stanford from 1852-1853, Stanford established his own firm by 1854. Collaborating with his former partner Saunders, and the Edinburgh publishing family of A.K. Johnston, he grew to become one of the major map and atlas compilers of the 19th century, using maps acquired from the Society for the Diffusion of Knowledge, and later from John Arrowsmith among other sources. Many of his publications were for official bodies such as the Ordnance Survey, Admiralty, Geological Survey, Trigonometrical Survey of India, the Royal Geographical Society, the School Board of London, and many more. In the 1880s, his son Edward Jr. took over leadership of the firm. Stanfords still exists today in London and Bristol, and its collection of maps, globes, and maritime charts is considered the largest in the world.
