Frostick records later issues dated 1872 and 1887 in the imprint but this example is undated. It does bear the imprint address of ‘457 Strand’ indicating that it was issued before a further change of address for 1887. According to Worms & Baynton-Williams this address was in use from 1853 to 1883. A study of the railways reveals the Norwich to Cromer line was granted permission in 1872, complete to North Walsham in 1874 and Cromer in 1877.
James Wyld (1790-1836) was an apprentice to William Faden and became Geographer to His Majesty George IV and later William IV. He was a founder member of the Royal Geographic Society. He introduced lithography into mapmaking in 1812. His death in 1836 was said to be due to ‘overwork’, the business being continued by his son James Wyld (1812-87). He joined the family firm in 1830. Wyld also became a Liberal MP for Bodmin from 1847-52 and 1857-68. Frostick (2011) 64.2; refer Rodger (1972) 325; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).
