Bartholomew's distinctive Half-Inch mapping of Fowey, reproduced here as a wooden coaster.
What this map covers
The mapped area around Fowey includes part of Cornwall National Landscape, together with Pont Pill. It also takes in Par, Polruan and Golant.
About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 37 · Cornwall, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Fowey rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
The Half-Inch series was designed to make a wide area useful to the traveller, showing how settlements, routes, and terrain fitted together rather than concentrating on property-level detail. Two miles are represented by one inch on the map, giving enough reach for a journey or region while keeping individual towns and routes legible.
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. Bartholomew drew on more detailed Ordnance Survey material, selecting and supplementing information for its own cartographic purpose; complete Half-Inch coverage of Great Britain was achieved in 1903. This particular source was published in 1903.
