Antique Edinburgh City Map 1885, Victorian Ordnance Atlas Plan by G.W. Bacon A finely detailed antique city plan of Edinburgh, published in 1885 by the London cartographer George W. Bacon as part of the New Large Scale Ordnance Atlas of the British Isles with Plans of Towns. Based on official Ordnance and actual surveys, the map documents the Scottish capital during a period of remarkable industrial growth and urban transformation in the late Victorian era. The plan presents Edinburgh with exceptional clarity, illustrating streets, railway lines, public buildings, squares, and expanding residential districts at a time when modern infrastructure reshaped historic European cities. The precise grid system and indexed layout reflect the practical surveying purpose of the atlas while simultaneously producing a striking architectural composition appreciated today for its decorative qualities. Soft original hand coloring highlights parks, waterways, and key districts, creating visual contrast between dense urban development and open green spaces. Areas such as The Meadows and surrounding parklands introduce balance and rhythm across the composition, enhancing both readability and aesthetic appeal. The map captures Edinburgh before major twentieth-century redevelopment, preserving a valuable historical record of the Victorian cityscape. George W. Bacon was one of the leading London publishers of accessible yet highly accurate cartographic works in the nineteenth century. His atlas plans translated official survey information into elegant engraved maps suitable for both reference and display, and today they are increasingly valued for their blend of historical importance and interior design appeal. This example functions equally as a scholarly document and a refined decorative artwork, ideal for collectors of antique cartography, Scottish historical material, or designers seeking an intellectually engaging statement piece for contemporary or traditional interiors. Condition Good antique condition overall. Light age-related toning and scattered spotting consistent with age. Minor handling wear to the margins and faint fold lines as issued. Presents attractively and frames well. Framing Tips Best presented in a dark walnut, black, or ebonized frame with a generous ivory or museum-white mat. A wider mat enhances the architectural detail and gives the map a calm gallery presence suitable for studies, libraries, or modern interiors.
