‘The Weekly Dispatch’ newspaper between the years 1856 and 1862 included in each edition a map of a part of the world. During this period a total of 118 maps were issued. The maps bear the distinctive sign of a half globe with the figure of Mercury above. The engravers varied but included John Dower and Edward Weller. In 1863 ‘The Dispatch Atlas’ was published which contained a series of English county maps. The two were combined in 1865 as ‘Cassell’s Complete Atlas’. This map shows the Arabian peninsula in great detail, particularly inland where so little was depicted at all on many. Er Riyad (Riyadh) is depicted at the centre of a network of roads and along the coast of the Persian Gulf can be made out Bahrein, Abu-Thubbi (Abu Dhabi) and Debai (Dubai).
