London, Edinburgh and Dublin appear with population insets beside sheets of northern Scotland, western Ireland and Europe in these maps by Harmsworth, the publishing organisation behind the Harmsworth Atlas and Gazetteer and Harmsworth's New Atlas. The name denotes a publishing house rather than a single cartographer, and the examples come from the early twentieth century. A physical map of the world's hemispheres completes the range, so the same reference work can be seen handling a capital city, a region and the globe. Dates identify the edition and its historical setting.
