CARTOGRAPHER: Archibald Fullarton (fl.1833 - 1850) publisher of steel plate engraved maps. Founded A. Fullarton and Co, in Glasgow between the years 1833-1840 and rapidly expanded into London, Edinburgh and Glasgow and Dublin. Published works include the remarkable Rev Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland andJohn Bartholomew's Imperial Map. Adopted risky strategy of re-printing work from other mapmakers, notably Bell's New and Comprehensive Gazetter of England and Wales, a collection of county maps, which were in turn copied from Samuel Lewis' Topographical English Dictionary. Led to numerous copyright disagreements around the use of other mapmakers' work. Fullarton's maps are decoratively second only to Thomas Moule. Whereas Moule's maps were highly decorated, Fullarton's maps usually included only one fine graphic, leaving the focus very much on the content of the map. ENGRAVER:
