Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: T. Ellwood Zell. Very Good+. 1876. Map. This excellent vintage printed colour map of North America measures 17" by 12 5/8" Printing details from the bottom margin state Engraved & Printed in Colours - T. Ellwood Zell, Philadelphia - by J. Bartholomew. No date engraved in the plate, but mid to late 1870s from Zell's Popular Encyclopedia. A wonderful representation of North America as it was geographically configured in the 1870s, showing Alaska as a U.S. Territory. There is a faint crease at center where it was mounted in the atlas and a small spot of foxing that barely shows thru in Florida, otherwise near fine. John Bartholomew, Jr. (1831 – 1893) was a Scottish cartographer. His father John Bartholomew Senior (1805-1861) started a cartographical establishment in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1856 John, Jr. took up the management of his father's firm John Bartholomew and Son Ltd. Bartholomew is best known for the development of colour contouring to represent altitudes on a graduated colour scale, which eventually became standard cartographical practice. .
