"Alexander Keith Johnston (28 December 1804 - 9 July 1871) was a Scottish geographer and cartographer.
Johnston combined cartography with a painstaking and scholarly approach to map production. He went on to establish a reputation for scope and accuracy. Thematic atlases became the hallmark of the company he had founded and W & A K Johnston were appointed engravers to King William IV in 1834. In 1835 he constructed the first English language physical globe of the world incorporating its geology, hydrography and meteorology." (Source: Wikipedia)
