William Heather (1764-1812) was and engraver and chart publisher in London. After working at first for the teacher in navigation and publisher John Hamilton Moore Heather set up in business on his own in 1793. As might be expected he first specialised in publishing charts of British waters. This chart of the mouth of the River Thames was engraved by John Stephenson and appears in amongst other works the ‘East India Pilot’ c.1805. Fisher (2001) pp. 74-83; Sanderson (1971) 343 no. 2; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).
