Hall, Sidney
Sidney Hall (1788 - 1831) was an English engraver and map publisher active in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His earliest imprints, dating to about 1814, suggest a partnership with Michael Thomson, another prominent English map engraver. Hall engraved for most of the prominent London map publishers of his day, including Aaron Arrowsmith, William Faden, William Harwood, and John Thomson, among others. Hall is credited as being one of the earliest adopters of steel plate engraving, a technique that allowed for finer detail and larger print runs due to the exceptional hardness of the medium. Upon his early death - he was only in his 40s - Hall's business was inherited by his wife, Selina Hall, who continued to publish under the imprint, "S. Hall", presumably for continuity. The business eventually passed to Sidney and Selina's nephew Edward Weller, who became extremely prominent in his own right.

This is an 1818 Sidney Hall map of East Asia tracing the route of the Alceste during its time in the region serving the Amherst Embassy. The map depicts the region from China to Kyushu (Kiusiu), one of the Japanese home islands, and from Liaodong Bay to Indonesia. Every coastline is illustrated in incredible detail, which appears in stark contrast to the completely blank inland areas. Major cities, such as Beijing (Pekin), Nanjing (Nankin), Guangzhou (Canton), and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), are identified. Many islands in the Philippines are labeled, including Luzon, Mindoro, Leyte, Samar, Mindanao, and Cebu (Zebu). Taiwan (Formosa), Malaya, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, and Timor are also identified. An inset situated in the upper left corner focuses on Hong Kong and Kowloon. (more details)

This is an 1818 Sidney Hall map of part of the Yangtze River in China. Depicting from Zhenjiang south to Poyang Lake, incredible detail and additional commentary provide astonishing insight into a part of the Amherst Embassy's journey from Beijing to Guangzhou. Nearly all the commentary refers to the terrain and characteristics of the river, including riverbank composition, channel width, and navigation hazards. The features of the surrounding land are also remarked upon, such as the crops grown and whether the terrain was flat or hilly. One comment states that porpoises were seen in the river, while others wonder at the number of wild birds living in the area, including geese and swans. Cities, like Zhenjiang and Nanjing, are identified, as are numerous other towns and villages along the way. This map was reduced from a larger map produced by the Jesuits and included greater detail than the Jesuit map. (more details)

A rare 1825 map of Gran Columbia issued by Sidney Hall to illustrate Charles Stuart Cochrane's narrative of two years spent traveling there. Cochrane, a British Royal Navy officer, traveled to Columbia in 1823, when the new Republic was at its height, just one year after the Constitution of Cúcuta and before infighting began to tear the vast territory apart. His goal was to secure a trading privilege to improve its pearl fisheries. This is one of the earliest maps of Gran Columbia published at the Republic's peak. (more details)
