Notes A Ward, Lock, & Co. imprint of the popular Bartholomew & Son Plan of Oxford, which appeared in numerous atlases and Oxford guides in the early 20th century. Bartholomew's plan changed with each successive printing, constantly undergoing updates and revisions to reflect the growth of the city of Oxford, as well as the inclusion of new institutions, buildings, and public amenities.

John Bartholomew & Son was founded by John Bartholomew Senior (1805 - 1861) in 1826. Initially the firm printed maps for external companies, though under John Bartholomew Junior and his son John George Bartholomew, the company achieved much greater success after making the decision to commission and print their own map series. In particular, the firm was responsible for the Times Survey Atlas of the World (1922) and successive Times Atlases.
