A WORLD OF ANTIQUE MAPS AND PRINTS

THE CARTOGRAPHER

ARCHIBALD FULLARTON

Flourished 1834 - 1872

34 Hutcheson Street, Glasgow - 1833
31 South Bridge. Edinburgh - 1833
110 Brunswick Street, Glasgow - 1838, 1840
12 King's Square, Goswell Street Road, London - 1838, 1840
6 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh - 1838, 1840

The company started in Glasgow in 1833 but further expansion came with moves to Edinburgh, London and Dublin. They published many geographical works but for map collectors they issued A New and Comprehensive Gazetteer of England and Wales 1833 - 1837 produced in four volumes by James Bell which contained 44 maps by three renowned engravers Gray, Neele and Scott. The maps appeared again in 1843 in a renamed work Parliamentary Gazetteer of England and Wales improved by the addition of railways. Some of the county maps are plain and others are embellished with an engraved vignette view of a local scene. They also published J. & C. Walker's British Atlas in 1846. See Page

Just my personal opinion

I feel sorry for the people who collect maps of a particular county and their county happens to be one of the counties that Fullarton decided not to embellish his map with a vignette view. Take away the view and you have a plain map, bit like the Archer maps. But this is not an excuse to exclude his map from your county collection.

You know how sometimes you can fall into a bad habit. Well I do remember years ago that somehow I started typing Fullerton when putting his maps on the website for sale. Thankfully a vigilant visitor to the site did eventually point this out to me. My website is pretty large now and it is quite easy to miss typos so visitors pointing out these is very welcome.

I have been buying and selling antique maps since the early 1960's during which time I had a gallery in Watergate Street, Chester for 30 years. I am now able to offer through my websites a personal service to map and print collectors.
