1900 Bartolomew Pocket Map of Edinburgh, Scotland



WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS


Title: Bartholomews Pocket Map of Edinburgh.

Description: A scarce c. 1900 map of Edinburgh, Scotland, by John Bartholomew. The map covers Edinburgh from Firth of Forth south as far as Colinton, and from the Ravelston Golf Course eastward as far as Portobello. The map notes all streets, parks, municipal centers, some topographical features, rivers, docks, rail lines, and, of course, the citys many fine golf courses. Cartographically Bartholomew derived this chart from the regional Ordinance Survey, from which it is reduced to a more manageable scale. An inset in the upper right details the Full extent of Greater Edinburgh.

In the previous century edinburgh was the heart of the Scottish Enlightenment. Celebrities from across the continent would be seen in the city streets, among them famous Scots such as David Hume, Walter Scott, Robert Adam, David Wilkie, Robert Burns, James Hutton and Adam Smith. Edinburgh became a major cultural center, earning it the nickname Athens of the North because of the Greco-Roman style of the New Towns architecture, as well as the rise of the Scottish intellectual elite who were increasingly leading both Scottish and European intellectual thought. During the 19th century, Edinburgh, like most of Scotland, benefited enormously from the Industrial Revolution.

Size: Printed area measures 20.6 inches high by 18.5 inches wide.

Condition: Good. Some wear and slight loss on original fold lines - see image. Backed with linen.



Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment. We are happy to consolidate shipping where possible. The following shipping options are available:
1. FedEx Overnight (45 USD). USA Only. Signature Required.
2. FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (15 USD). USA Only. 1 - 10 days. If your address is a P.O. Box and cannot ship FedEx we will ship USPS Priority and, while we ship promptly, recent postal personnel cutbacks mean that delivery may take time. Signature Required.
3. FedEx International or DHL International EXPRESS (45 USD).
4. We can use your FedEx Account.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.

Insurance: All shipments are insured privately against loss and damage. All of our shipments require a signature for insurance purposes.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us through eBay.
