Mogg, Edward (fl. 1803 - 1860)
Edward Mogg was a publisher in London in the 19th century. He issued maps and travel guides to London and other localities in England and Wales. Mogg's publications appear in works of fiction such as Robert Smith Surtees' Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour and Shirley Brooks' the Naggletons.
Edward Mogg (1803-1860) was an esteemed mapmaker and etcher from England who operated in London during the early 19th century. In contrast to many of his contemporaries, Mogg meticulously engraved all his own maps by hand. His primary focus was on producing guides, railway maps, and other materials catered to tourists and travellers in London. Mogg had a particular interest in protecting tourists from dishonest taxi drivers, and thus, created the groundbreaking "Cab Fare Map and Guide." Moreover, he was responsible for publishing the 1822 edition of Paterson's Roads of England and Wales, as well as designing a captivating celestial sphere for schoolchildren.
