Information trouvée : The Bartholomew mapmaking firm was located in several parts of Edinburgh over the
years. In 1859 it was an engraving and lithographic establishment based on North Bridge.
The firm moved to Brown Square in 1869, and then to Chambers Street in 1876. By 1889
the company was also a printing firm, and moved to a bigger building on Park Road.
In 1911 the Bartholomews moved their offices to even larger premises on Duncan Street.The
firm became a private limited company – John Bartholomew and Son Ltd – in 1919. It
remained a family business, passing from son to son, until 1980 when Reader's Digest
bought out the firm. The News International Corporation bought the company in 1985
and the family's formal association with the business ended in 1987. Since 1989 the
business has been owned by HarperCollins Publishers.
