Augustus Mitchell

helped to save the London Underground by presenting an accurate map which also had a humorous side in cartoon style

where he was given a state funeral – one of only a handful of British subjects to be honoured in that way (other examples are Lord Nelson and Sir Winston Churchill) – and the last heraldic state funeral to be held in Britain

He is considered the founder of the antiquarian map trade
