EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fine reproduction of the Map of The British Empire by Fullarton & Co from 1850. Renowned mapmaker John Bartholomew and publishers Fullarton were pioneers in their use of red or pink to highlight British possessions across the globe, a convention that would endure for the next century. This particular map, dating back to the 1850s, proudly declares at its summit that "The British Possessions are engraved in a bolder character and coloured Red". What sets this map apart is its exquisite attention to detail and decorative elements. Framing the edges are idyllic depictions of harmonious encounters between British colonists and indigenous inhabitants in various regions: Australia, North America, British Asia, East Indian islands, and the Cape Colony in Southern Africa. These images serve as reminders of Britain's global influence during this era. Originally featured in Fullarton's Royal Illustrated Atlas published in 1864 (after being issued in parts from 1854-62), this map not only provides geographical information but also includes tables presenting the size and population of each British possession at that time. With its historical significance as one of the earliest maps utilizing color-coded indicators for colonial territories and its striking visual appeal through intricate illustrations, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into an era when Britannia ruled over vast expanses around the world.
