John Betts published maps, atlases and folding globes; worked in London, 7 Compton Street Brunswick Sq. from 1839-1846, and at 115 Strand after 1846. His folding globes continued to be published until the 1920s by George Philip & Son, Ltd. (still active today). Betts was most famous for his patented folding globes that can be opened like an umbrella.

All maps are laid on to cloth and, along with the slip cases, are individually made by hand in our Buckinghamshire workshop. Small and medium maps available unframed. See slip cases & marble paper.

Standard maps are framed in mouldings which we produce ourselves in hand painted and waxed black. Additionally, the large maps can also be framed in woods such as Birds Eye Maple and Walnut which we veneer in the traditional way. See Framing.

Please see individual map sizes for further detail.
