  • Catalogue Summer 2012
    JONATHAN POTTER ANTIQUE MAPS CATALOGUE SUMMER 2012 INTRODUCTION 2012 was always going to be an exciting year in London and Britain with the long- anticipated Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the holding of the Olympic Games. To add to this, Jonathan Potter Ltd has moved to new gallery premises in Marylebone, one of the most pleasant parts of central London. After nearly 35 years in Mayfair, the move north of Oxford Street seemed a huge step to take, but is only a few minutes’ walk from Bond Street. 52a George Street is set in an attractive area of good hotels and restaurants, fine Georgian residential properties and interesting retail outlets. Come and visit us. Our summer catalogue features a fascinating mixture of over 100 interesting, rare and decorative maps covering a period of almost five hundred years. From the fifteenth century incunable woodcut map of the ancient world from Schedels’ ‘Chronicarum...’ to decorative 1960s maps of the French wine regions, the range of maps available to collectors and enthusiasts whether for study or just decoration is apparent. Although the majority of maps fall within the ‘traditional’ definition of antique, we have included a number of twentieth and late ninteenth century publications – a significant period in history and cartography which we find fascinating and in which we are seeing a growing level of interest and appreciation. AN ILLUSTRATED SELECTION OF ANTIQUE MAPS, ATLASES, CHARTS AND PLANS AVAILABLE FROM We hope you find the catalogue interesting and please, if you don’t find what you are looking for, ask us - we have many, many more maps in stock, on our website and in the JONATHAN POTTER LIMITED gallery.

    6.0 SUMMARY OF ISSUES 6.01 The new public realm works to Cathedral Square, St John’s Square, Cowgate, Long Causeway and Bridge Street and architectural lighting for aesthetic effect have brought about significant enhancement, creating attractive places. Westgate Broadway and Midgate (adjacent to the Conservation Area) are programmed for improvement under the Public Realm Strategy in the next couple of years. 6.02 The pedestrianisation of the principal shopping streets within the city centre has had a major positive impact on the ability to enjoy the historic environment and spaces within these parts of the Conservation Area. Elsewhere, although it can create a lively bustle and give animation to the streets, traffic more often detracts from the character and setting of the Conservation Area. On-street car parking is visually intrusive along Cowgate and the busy bus and taxi route of Broadway and Westgate is distracting and gives rise to unattractive and cluttering guardrails and traffic signs. 6.03 Vacancy at ground floor level is not at present a concern throughout the Conservation Area, although there are a small number of vacant retail units. Vacancy appears to be a greater problem at upper floor level above ground floor retail units. This presents a threat to the long-term survival of such buildings through a lack of regular maintenance and investment. There are few long- term vacant historic buildings within the Conservation Area, with two notable exceptions being Nos. 51 and 55 Priestgate. 6.04 The impact of Bourges Boulevard is severe and has a profound detrimental impact across the periphery of the Conservation Area, with severe negative impacts on Cowgate, Priestgate and Bridge Street.
