The Publisher
John Bartholomew & Son Ltd was a renowned Scottish cartographic firm founded in Edinburgh in 1826, becoming a leading name in mapmaking over six generations. Famous for high-quality atlases, "half-inch" road maps, and pioneering layer-coloured contour maps, the firm was absorbed by HarperCollins in 1989, though the name continues through digitisation.
