"Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884), also known as A.J. Johnson, led the New York City publishing company which published Johnson's Family Atlases from 1860 to 1887. These atlases were published under his name alone or with Browning (1860-62) and Ward (1862-1866)". (Source: Wikipedia)

Johnson started publishing atlases in 1860. He was a book canvasser who earlier sold maps and atlases and later started publishing them.
