BARTHOLOMEW, JOHN (1831-1893)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARTHOLOMEW, JOHN (1831-1893) , Scottish cartographer, was born at Edinburgh on the 25th of December 1831. His father had a cartographical
establishment
  there and he was educated in the
work
 . He was subsequently assistant to the German geographer August Petermann, until in 1856 he took up the management of his father's firm. For this
establishment
 , now known as the Edinburgh Geographical Institute, Bartholomew built up a reputation unsurpassed in
Great
  Britain for the production of the finest cartographical
work
 . Among his numerous publications mention may be specially made of the
series
  of maps of
Great
  Britain reduced from the Ordnance Survey to scales of z in. and h in. to 1 m., with
relief
  shown by contours and a systematic scale of colours. The in.
series
 , which was extended (and its principles applied to many other works) by Mr J. G. Bartholomew, who succeeded his father in the business, is the finest of its kind ever produced. John Bartholomew died in London on the 29th of
March
  1893.
