Withers, Charles W. J. (Author)
This article examines an 1874 court case brought by the leading map-making firm W. & A. K. Johnston against the Athenaeum, a literary periodical, for publishing a review that criticized the quality of Johnston’s Edinburgh Educational Atlas. The review, by geographer Charles Tilstone Beke, impugned the reputations of mapmaker Alexander Keith Johnston and of the Johnston firm, questioning their credibility. Testimonials given at the trial reveal the complex circumstances behind the atlas and highlight the importance of credibility in atlas publishing at this time, as well as to Johnston and his reputation and to Beke as a reviewer and expert on the ‘Nile question’ and the geography of East Africa’s lakes.
