Leben

William Faden wurde geboren als Sohn des Londoner Druckers Willam Faden senior (1711–1783), welcher schottischer Abstammung war (ursprünglich MacFaden).[2][3] Er selbst druckte den nordamerikanischen Atlas[4] im Jahr 1777, und es wurde der wichtigste Atlas, der die Kämpfe des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges darstellte. Im Atlas befinden sich 29 Karten, die detaillierte Kampfkarten, welche von Augenzeugen gezeichnet wurden, enthalten.[5] William wurde 1836 auf dem Friedhof St. Nicholas Churchyard in Shepperton, Spelthorne Borough, Surrey, England beerdigt[6].

William Faden war auch Herausgeber der Zeitschrift "The Public Ledger" oder "The Daily Register" in London.[7]

Eine Liste der englischen Grafschaftskarten, die William Faden gedruckt hat, ist auch in einer seiner Biografien aufgeführt.[8]
