About the Item

Antique 20th Century leather-cased collection of Bartholomew British road maps by Edward Stanford Ltd of London. One volume features a map of the entire British Isles, divided into numbered squares, with each subsequent book containing a detailed map of the corresponding square. All housed in the original leather case. An exceptional, complete set, ideal for any geography enthusiast. These maps were particularly celebrated for their clarity, accuracy, and attention to detail, providing not just roads, but also topographical features, railways, and key landmarks. As the UK’s travel industry grew, Bartholomew maps became an essential companion for motorists, tourists, and businesses, marking a time when mapmaking was both an art and a science. The iconic covers, often adorned with a bold red design, became instantly recognisable, cementing their place in British cartographic history. Today, they are valued by collectors and enthusiasts alike for both their historical significance and their craftsmanship.
