Antique Map of Spain and Portugal by Thomson, 1815
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Spain & Portugal.' Map of Spain and Portugal. From Thomson's 'New General Atlas', 1815. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'J. & G. Menzies'. Publisher: John Thomson was one of the leading masters of the Edinburgh school of cartography which flourished from roughly 1800 to 1830. Thomson & his contemporaries (Pinkerton & Cary) redefined European cartography by abandoning typical 18th century decorative elements such as elaborate title cartouches and fantastic beasts in favor of detail and accuracy. Thomson's principle works include the 'Thomson's New General Atlas' published from 1814 to 1827 and his 'Atlas of Scotland'. The 'Atlas of Scotland', a work of groundbreaking detail and dedication would eventually bankrupt the Thomson firm in 1830. Today Thomson maps are becoming increasingly rare as they are highly admired for their monumental size, vivid hand coloration, and superb detail.
