William Barnard Clarke (1806-1865) was an English architect, cartographer, archeological writer and art collector. He was the founding president of the Architectural Society of London. The "Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" (SDUK), founded in 1826 at the initiative of British lord Henry Peter Brougham, aimed to distribute affordable, high-quality educational materials to the working and middle classes. Despite ties to prestigious publishers like Baldwin and Cradock, Chapman and Hall, and Charles Knight, SDUK closed in 1848 due to financial challenges. It achieved renown for its exceptional atlases, notably a comprehensive series of maps initially issued individually and later consolidated into a groundbreaking world atlas under Chapman and Hall. SDUK maps are celebrated for their accuracy, detail, and accessibility, representing a pinnacle of 19th-century English mass-market cartography.
