Couldn't Resist A Google

George Routledge & Sons led me to this Wikipedia page.

It looks like the author's name is J. L. Blamire. I got two reasonable hits, one a simple passenger list announcement in the May 2, 1883 New York Times (link provided for completeness more than anything else, it's just a page that has a link to a PDF of the announcement of arriving passengers. He arrived "In steam-ship Wyoming, from Liverpool").

The other is a July 24, 1894 Publishers Weekly that announces the incorporation of "George Routledge's Sons" - Blamire is on the board of directors.

I'm guessing the book was published before WWI?

The copyright notice directly on the image itself says "Copyright 1886".

So I'm guessing 1886, myself.
