English engraving — Bartholomew, John

John Bartholomew Junior (1831 - 1893) was a Scottish cartographer.
Bartholomew was born in Edinburgh. His father John Bartholomew Senior started a cartographical establishment in Edinburgh, Scotland and he was educated in the work. He was subsequently assistant to the German geographer August Petermann, until in 1856 he took up the management of his father's firm. For this establishment, now known as the Edinburgh Geographical Institute, Bartholomew built up a reputation unsurpassed in Great Britain for the production of the finest cartographical work.
