John George Bartholomew (1860-1920) came from a celebrated line of map-makers. Under his administration the family business became one of the top operations in its field, introducing the use of coloured contour layer maps. He also anticipated the needs of late 19th and early 20th century travellers by publishing street maps of major cities, cycling maps, railway timetable maps, and road maps for automobiles.
