John Bartholomew & Son was a prominent mapmaking and publishing company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. They were known for producing high-quality maps and atlases during the 19th and 20th centuries. The map titled "Farther India and East Indies, western section" that you mentioned is likely a map created by the company in 1923.

"Farther India" was a historical term used to describe the mainland Southeast Asia region, which includes present-day Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The "East Indies" typically referred to the Indonesian archipelago and surrounding islands.

The map depict the western section of the Farther India and East Indies region, showcasing the geographical features, cities, rivers, and other relevant information of that area as of 1923.

The company's roots can be traced back to 1826 when John Bartholomew Sr. (1805-1861) established a mapmaking and engraving business in Edinburgh. His son, John Bartholomew Jr. (1831-1893), joined the business and further expanded its operations. John Bartholomew Jr. took over the firm after his father's passing and continued to develop its reputation for producing accurate and detailed maps.

Under John Bartholomew Jr.'s leadership, the company gained international recognition for its high-quality cartography and atlases. They were known for their precision and attention to detail in map production. The Bartholomew firm received several prestigious awards and commissions, including being appointed cartographers to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.

Throughout the 20th century, John Bartholomew & Son continued to thrive and expand, producing numerous maps, atlases, and globes. They played a significant role in mapping various regions of the world, including areas in Africa, Asia, Europe, and beyond.

In the latter half of the 20th century, the company faced challenges due to technological advancements and changing market dynamics. In 1980, John Bartholomew & Son was acquired by HarperCollins, a major publishing house. The Bartholomew name continued to be associated with cartography within HarperCollins for some time.
