Old Map of Birmingham 1866 by Fullarton & Co
This detailed reproduction plan of Birmingham has been re-worked from an antique originally published in the 1860,s by Archibold Fullarton & Company. He was a well known publisher of books in the 19th century; however it is of significant note that the engraver, John Bartholomew Junior, had followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, establishing the reputation of the famous Bartholomew map-making company. John Bartholomew Junior was the first person to use layer colouring to indicate land heights and sea depths. The Bartholomew map-making generations would continue to prosper, introducing new map-making techniques into the 20th century. The plan of 1866 covers a greater area than previous plans of Birmingham, stretching out to include Aston, an area as yet not incorporated into Birmingham. To the south there is Edgbaston, the small village of Harborne is just about featured. However, this plan reveals something new, something that Birminghams people had needed for quite some time, public open space. The green coloured areas add a splash of colour to the plan, highlighting the arrival of BirminghamAEs first parks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed reproduction print of the "Old Map of Birmingham 1866" by Fullarton & Co takes us back in time to a significant era in the city's history. Originally published in the 1860s, this antique map showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of Archibold Fullarton & Company, a renowned publisher during the 19th century. What makes this particular map even more remarkable is the contribution of John Bartholomew Junior, an engraver who followed in his father and grandfather's footsteps to establish the famous Bartholomew map-making company. John Bartholomew Junior introduced innovative techniques such as layer colouring to indicate land heights and sea depths, revolutionizing cartography at that time. Covering a larger area than previous plans, this 1866 edition includes Aston, which was not yet incorporated into Birmingham. It also features Edgbaston to the south and highlights Harborne village. However, what truly stands out on this plan are vibrant green-colored areas representing public open spaces – Birmingham's first parks. These splashes of color symbolize progress and reflect the growing need for recreational areas within an expanding industrial city like Birmingham. They offer respite from urban life while showcasing how society recognized its inhabitants' well-being even during times of rapid development. As we gaze upon this print, we can appreciate both its historical significance and its role in documenting Birmingham's evolution over time.
