Fielding Lucas, Jr.
Lucas, Fielding Jr. (1781—1854) was a cartographer, an artist and a publisher of prominence during the early 19th century. He is known as the earliest successful commercial map-publisher in the city of Baltimore. The first of his atlases was published in 1815-17, in which the maps are closely associated with the 1822 edition of Philadelphia atlas by ''Carey & Lea''.
==Career history==
Lucas founded ''Lucas Bros. Inc.'' in 1804 which was located at 116, East Baltimore Street, and became the first stationer in the United States. In 1806 Lucas served as the Baltimore manager of the Philadelphia publishing firm, ''Conrad, Lucas, and Co.'', when it opened its offices there.
In 1834, Lucas published the first ''"The Metropolitan Catholic Calendar and Laity's Directory"'' - an annual calendar, which was renamed to ''"Metropolitan Catholic Almanac"'' by him in 1838. In the issue of 1845 there is inserted a map of the United States, "prepared at much expense to exhibit at a glance the extent and relative situation of the different dioceses", with a table of comparative statistics from 1835 to 1845. A list of the clergy in England and Ireland was added in the volume for 1850. Because of Lucas and a younger contemporary, Ireland-born John Murphy, Baltimore was the major center of Catholic publishing until it shifted to New York at the beginning of the twentieth century.
In 1866, his son, William F. Lucas, acquired the Lucas Bros. printing and stationery business.
