About this Item
Map. Color lithograph. Measures 37 3/4" x 25" This vibrant pictorial map of Scotland was printed in 1969. The map depicts towns, roads, cathedrals, abbeys, royal burghs, ancient Roman sites, castles, resorts, and seaports. Sites of major battles and sieges, and massacres are indicated by year. Pictorial details illustrate Scottish figures, historical events, customs, and traditions. Various quotes, aphorisms, and inscriptions are superimposed throughout. Surrounding the map is a decorative border featuring heraldic symbols. In very good condition, with minor toning to margins and along some folds. Folded as issued. Leslie George Bullock (1895-1971) was an English writer, civil servant, and cartographer. He produced his first map in 1937 for John Bartholomew & Son, Ltd - a pictorial guide for the Empire Exhibition, Scotland held in Glasgow in 1938. He continued to design pictorial maps for the publishing house for the next three decades. He is best remembered for his playful and decorative style, annotated with informative details and references. John Bartholomew (1831-1893) was a Scottish cartographer known throughout Great Britain for his finely produced maps, often in color. This map is a fine example of his work. Seller Inventory # 316377
