Premium Materials & Expert Craftsmanship

We believe every historic map deserves presentation worthy of its legacy. That’s why we carefully select the finest materials and work with skilled craftspeople to produce a piece that’s as durable as it is beautiful.

Premium Paper Print

• Printed on heavyweight 160gsm archival-quality paper—thicker and stronger than standard poster stock, resisting yellowing and curling over time.

• Subtle matte finish reduces glare and provides crisp definition of every intricate line and label.

• Ideal for framing under glass—transforming this historic artefact into an elegant centrepiece for your home or office.

Laminated Edition

• Double encapsulated in two sheets of 80-micron gloss laminate using genuine thermal bonding, not just surface lamination. This ensures exceptional protection against moisture, dirt, and everyday handling.

• Wipe-clean surface—perfect for schools, community centres, or anywhere the map may be touched and referenced regularly.

• Optional natural timber hang rails (lacquered to protect and enhance the grain) with attached hanging cord make installation effortless—simply hook and hang.

Museum-Quality Canvas

• Printed on luxurious 395gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas, chosen for its weight, strength, and rich, textured feel reminiscent of traditional cartography.

• Fade-resistant, pigment-based inks soak deep into the canvas fibres, providing vibrant colour and razor-sharp detail that lasts for decades.

• Optional timber hang rails bring warmth and craftsmanship, with a classic look that blends seamlessly into both contemporary and heritage-inspired interiors.

• No need for framing—simply unbox, hang, and admire.
