Born in 1749, Faden succeeded Thomas Jefferys as the Geographer to King George III in 1783, a prestigious position that reflected his expertise and reputation in the field. Faden's most notable work includes the 1777 map "The North American Atlas," which was crucial for British commanders during the American Revolutionary War. He also published "A Plan of London and Westminster," which provided a detailed depiction of London's streets and buildings. Faden's contributions to cartography were significant, particularly in the accuracy and detail of his maps, which remained highly valued for navigation and urban planning. He continued his work until his retirement in 1823, after which his business was taken over by James Wyld.
