A gorgeous pictorial map of Stratford upon Avon, originally published in 1948 by Kerry Lee, focusing on - you guessed it - the "immortal bard" himself, William Shakespeare.
The whole map focuses on Shakespeare's life in the town - where he lived, where he retired, illustrations of his children, friends and schoolmaster, and other funny/interesting anecdotes.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm) and 24x36 inches (61x91.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 90 inches (229cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (51x40.5cm) version of this map.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of the London West End by Macdonald Gill in 1915.
Many of Stratford's landmarks and streets are visible on this map.
The locations on this map include: the River Avon, Holy Trinity Church, Hall Croft, Old Market Place, Nash's House, New Place, Shakespeare Hotel and Clopton Bridge.
Surrounding the map are sketches of Shakespeare's famous plays such as Romeo and Juliet, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Macbeth and Midsummer Night's Dream.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from Stratford or perhaps someone who has a keen interest in the famous plays of Shakespeare.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
