Hall made engravings for a number of international atlases at a time when cartography and atlases were very popular. He also engraved a series of cards for the various constellations, published c.1825 in a boxed set called Urania's Mirror.[1]Sidney Hall's punched star chart of the constellationAuriga.Hall engraved maps for William Faden, Aaron Arrowsmith, and Chapman & Hall, among many others.[2]In 1809 he operated at 5 Vine Street, Picadilly, London. In 1814 he was in partnership with Michael Thomson operating at 14 Bury Street in the Bloomsbury District and later was listed at 18 Bury Street.[3] Hall is credited with "almost certainly" being the first engraver to use steel plates in map engraving.[3]Hall died in 1831 at the age of 42. The business was carried on by map engraver Selina Hall, his widow.[2]References[edit]^ "Urania's Mirror c.1825 – Ian Ridpath's Old Star Atlases". Ianridpath.com.
