Sobre este artículo
Edinburgh, 1815. Copper engraving, 51.5 x 66 cm, engraved by John and George Menzies, original hand colour, blank verso; engraved in 1814 and first published in Thomsons New General Atlas in 1815. A detailed map which Walter suggests has several clear improvements on its immediate predecessors, such as Jones map of 1813. Thomson made his fortune through his extremely successful 'New General Atlas', but in the 1820s he bankrupted himself, twice (in the process of creating his large-scale 'Atlas of Scotland' in a burst of patriotic pride) and he disappears from the historical record. Thomson's maps are characteristic of the Edinburgh school of cartography which flourished at the beginning of the nineteenth-century and is noted for its clarity and elegance; other exponents include John Cary and John Pinkerton.
