About the Author
George Bradshaw (1801-1853) was an English cartographer, printer and publisher. He is most famous for developing a series of railway timetables and guides. The books became synonymous with their publisher, so that, for Victorians and Edwardians alike, a railway timetable was 'a Bradshaw'. After his death, Punch magazine said of Bradshaw's labours: 'seldom has the gigantic intellect of man been employed upon a work of greater utility.'
