Hole-by-hole plans of the King's Course at Gleneagles, published in 1921, make these vintage maps by McCorquodale & Co. an unusually specialised find. The British printing firm, established in 1846, is recorded in museum collections for its railway posters, guides, timetables and related ephemera, and the Scottish resort sits comfortably among its travel publications. Greens, fairways and hazards are laid out for each hole in turn, a far more particular record than any visitor's map. The name identifies the firm as printer and publisher rather than the personal author of every design.
