Thomas Letts took over the family-owned publishing company in 1835, and was joined by his son Charles in 1870, when they raised capital and set up Letts, Son & Co. and began to print atlases as well. When this Company was liquidated in 1885, the atlas plates were sold to Mason and Payne who produced the same style of atlas in 1887.
