Biography

THOMSON, John 1777 - 1837

A Scottish cartographer and publisher, active in Edinburgh, John Thomson published several editions of the New General Atlas from 1814 to 1821; and the Atlas of Scotland, from 1820. Unfortunately, the high cost of producing this most detailed atlas bankrupted Thomson in 1830 and again in 1835.
