Bartholomew Exhibition

Putting Scot­land on the Map is the Nation­al Library of Scot­land’s exhi­bi­tion about the world of John Bartholomew and Son, the famous Edin­burgh map print­ing firm. As well as maps and atlases, the exhi­bi­tion includes items from the Bartholomew Archive held in the Library, which doc­u­ments 200 years of the fir­m’s his­to­ry.
