Unless stated otherwise, all maps are reproduced on heavyweight
A3 Super paper; image size is approximately 16"x12" (400mmx300mm) which in most
cases represents an increase over the original. We have have added a splendid
Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge map of Madrid to our Fullarton and
Bartholomew maps of the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands and Madeira, and are looking
to further extend our range in the coming months.
IBER4-IBER17 are reproduced from a series of unusual and attractive aquatints of the Spanish countryside and people taken from Sketches of the Country, Character, and Costume in Portugal and Spain by the Rev. William Bradford, the chaplain to the English army during the
Peninsular War. They were executed by I. Clark after Bradford’s own sketches, and printed and published by J. Booth of Duke Street, Portland Place, London in 1823.
These prints are reproduced on heavyweight A3 paper. Besides being
extremely decorative, they are a valuable source of historical information.
Several of the remaining views are from a series by David Roberts,
the outstanding Scottish artist best known for his later series of lithographs
of the Holy Land and Egypt. The originals are very fine engravings illustrating
Thomas Roscoe’s The Traveller in Spain, published in four volumes
between 1835 and 1838. All are reproduced on heavyweight A4 paper, with an image
size of approximately 7"x5"(170mm x 125mm).
