Many of the posters that Bartholomew produced to advertise their maps are unusual in the prominence given to women and in the use of photography.
A selection of 1930s advertising posters featured in the Bartholomew exhibition, which ran at the National Library of Scotland from 7 December 2012 to 7 May 2013.
