Bartholomew's coloured treatment of relief gives the maps much of their visual identity, making the shape of uplands and lowlands readable before individual labels are examined. This particular source was published in 1902.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"listing-section listing-section-product\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order.
