During this time period, G.W Bacon created illustrations of British colonial wars, with their most famous publication being Bacon's South Africa War Prints in 1901, covering the Second Boer War.
Around 1900, G.W. Bacon was purchased by the Scottish publishing house of W.& A.K. Johnston and incorporated into their own. Maps using the Bacon brand were being produced as late as 1956. [3] About 1967 their name was changed to Johnston & Bacon. [4]
