Description
This vibrantly lithographed pocket map of Bath and the surrounding region was published around 1912 in Nottingham by Roberts & Company. A primary image, replicated largely from Ordnance Surveys, shows the railways, main roads, rivers, and forests in an area encompassing approximately 900 square miles.
Surrounding the map are eighteen incredible contemporary advertisements for a variety of firms and services. Examples include medical care by T.J. Tuttle, Chiropodist to the Royal Family, and the “Original” Bath Oliver Biscuits, identifiable by their distinctive trademark. The colorful text and images provide a fascinating snapshot into the world of English consumerism on the brink of World War I.
