John Bartholomew & Son, a pioneering Scottish mapmaking and publishing company, left an indelible mark on the world of cartography over its rich history spanning nearly two centuries. Founded by John Bartholomew in 1826 in Edinburgh, the firm became synonymous with precision and quality in map production.

Specializing in a diverse range of cartographic products, John Bartholomew & Son earned acclaim for its educational maps, widely utilized in schools and institutions for teaching geography. The company's influence extended globally, establishing it as a leading name in the field.

One of its most notable contributions was the creation of renowned atlases. The "Times Survey Atlas of the World," crafted in the late 1920s, showcased meticulous detail and accuracy. The mid-20th century saw the publication of the "Times Atlas of the World," a monumental work that further solidified the company's reputation for excellence.

The Bartholomew family played a pivotal role in the company's evolution. Through changing ownership, the firm continued to thrive, adapting to the evolving landscape of cartography. Its commitment to producing high-quality maps persisted, making it a trusted source for geographic information.

John Bartholomew & Son's legacy was not confined to the geographical boundaries of Scotland; it resonated globally. The closure of the company in 1995 marked the end of an era, but its contributions to the world of maps endure. The craftsmanship, precision, and educational impact of John Bartholomew & Son's maps continue to be celebrated, reminding us of a chapter in cartographic history that shaped the way we view and understand the world.
