Pictorial Map of Edinburgh and Leith.

1935 Reid Pictorial Map of Edinburgh and Leith

This is an unusual art deco style plan of Edinburgh, Scotland by George A. Reid. Covers the whole of Edinburgh with important monuments and buildings represented in profile. Names various streets, parks, and business as well as railways, ferries, and trolleys. This is the Clarinda Edition of Reid's map, referring to the Story of Clarinda which appears on the verso along with a biography of Mary Queen of Scots. Clarinda was an Edinburgh native who had a clandestine affair with Robert Burns, inspiring, some say, much of his best work. Pictorial maps like more commonly represent major centers like Paris and London. This is the only such example I have come across focusing on Edinburgh.
