City plans of Bombay, Calcutta and Lahore, with their docks, cantonments and public buildings, stand out among these maps by John George Bartholomew (1860–1920), the Edinburgh cartographer whose family business supplied maps for atlases and reference books. The material here concentrates on British India in issues dated 1909–1931. Provincial sheets cover Rajputana, Hyderabad and the United Provinces, railway maps link them across the subcontinent, and thematic maps show languages and religions. Nepal, Tibet, Afghanistan and Aden are also covered, and the later issues carry his credit after his death.
