Edward Wallis (1787 - 1868) was a British publisher, mapmaker, and game manufacturer. The son of publisher John Wallis (1745 - 1818), Wallis joined his father's business in 1813, operating as Wallis and Son or John and Edward Wallis. Wallis and his brother John divided their father's business after his 1818 death. Edward continued creating, publishing, and selling maps, games, and other printed material until he also retired in 1847, at which point he sold his business to John Passmore. His brother, John Wallis II, established a separate publishing business, which he ran for a few years before closing down and moving to Sidmouth, where he opened the Marine Library, a circulating library and reading room.
