John George Bartholomew
British cartographer (1860-1920) and founder of Edinburgh Geographical Institute and later Collins Bartholomew / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John George Bartholomew (22 March 1860 - 14 April 1920) was a British cartographer and geographer. Because he had a royal warrant, he used the name "Cartographer to the King". He is also known as "the Prince of Cartography."[1]
Bartholomew is best known for naming the continent Antarctica,[2] which before was ignored because of its lack of resources and bad weather.
