Archibald Fullarton

The company produced the last maps to boast decorative vignettes, often done by George Heriot Swanston, the Scottish cartographer and engraver.

[3] Another monumental work by the firm was the Royal Illustrated Atlas James Bell (1769–1836) published his New and Comprehensive Gazetteer of England and Wales in 1833–34.

The maps in his gazetteer all bear the imprint of the publisher and were engraved by Gray and Son, Josiah Neele & Co or Robert Scott.

He was therefore angry at what he saw as an accusation of plagiarism and 'extremely disingenuous attempt to underrate the value and importance of their laborious and accurate Compilation' stating that 'these materials do not constitute one third part of the present Publication'.

[4] Another major work was A Gazetteer of the World: Or, Dictionary of Geographical Knowledge, edited by George Godfrey Cunningham, who was a partner at Fullarton, and published in 1856.
