This 1967 map of Brazil - East - Central, published by the Polish Army Topography Service, is a detailed political and physical map that provides a comprehensive overview of the region. The map covers the eastern and central regions of Brazil, including the major cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte, as well as numerous smaller towns and villages. It also depicts various geographical features, such as the Amazon River, the São Francisco River, and the Pantanal, as well as national parks and historical events that occurred in the 20 years prior to the map's publication.
The map is meticulously crafted, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the region to life. The physical features are clearly delineated, with mountains, rivers, and forests depicted in great detail. The political boundaries are also clearly marked, making it easy to identify the different states and municipalities within the region. The map also includes inset maps of Brasilia and Rio De Janeiro, providing a closer look at these important cities.
One of the most striking features of the map is the extensive road and rail network that connects the various cities and towns. This network highlights the importance of transportation and infrastructure in the development of the region. The map also includes symbols and labels for airports, ports, and other important landmarks, making it a valuable resource for travelers and historians alike.
In addition to its geographical and political information, the map also provides a glimpse into the history of the region. The inset map of Brasilia, for example, showcases the newly constructed capital city, which was inaugurated in 1960. The map also includes notes on historical events that occurred in the 20 years prior to its publication, such as the 1956 election of Juscelino Kubitschek as president of Brazil and the 1964 military coup d'état that established a military dictatorship in the country.
Overall, this map is a fascinating and informative document that provides a wealth of information about Brazil - East - Central. It is a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in learning more about this vibrant and diverse region.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 16in (40cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
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.
My standard frame is a gallery style black ash hardwood frame. It is simple and quite modern looking. On maps up to 36 inches (91cm) the frame is 1.5-3cm (0.6in to 1in) wide. I use thicker frames on larger maps - usually between 35 and 60mm (1.4in to 2.4in).
In all cases I use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) for the frame glass. It's lighter and safer than glass - and it looks better, as the reflectivity is lower.
All frames are provided "ready to hang", with either a string or brackets on the back. Very large frames will have heavy duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
See some examples of my framed maps and framed canvas maps.
A few different frame colours are available for free (black, brown, white, oak and antique gold). Custom framing and mounting/matting is available if you're looking for something else.
Alternatively, I can also supply old maps on canvas, foam board, cotton rag and other materials.
If you want to frame your map yourself, please read my map size guide first.
For most orders, delivery time is about 3 working days. Personalised and custom made maps take longer, as I have to do the personalisation and send it to you for approval, which usually takes a day or two.
Please note that for larger framed orders (over 40in/100cm), and some other framed sizes, the delivery time will be closer to 7-10 days.
If you need your order to arrive by a certain date, please contact me before you order so that we can find the best way of making sure you get your order in time.
I have specialist printing and framing facilities in 17 countries around the world. This means your map will be made locally, which cuts down on delivery time and reduces the chance of your map being damaged during delivery. There won't be any extra taxes or duties to pay, and we'll put less CO2 into the air.
All of my maps are well packaged and sent in a rugged tube if unframed, or surrounded by foam if framed.
I try to send out all maps within 1 or 2 days of receiving your order, though some products (like face masks or mugs) can take longer to make.
If you select Express Delivery at checkout your order we will prioritise your order and send it out by 1-day courier (Fedex, DHL, UPS, Parcelforce).
We can sometimes do next-day delivery if you order before 10am. But usually it's best to contact me first before you order.
My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.
I source original, extremely rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original.
My maps are printed on acid-free archival matte (not glossy) paper that feels very high quality and almost like card. In technical terms the paper weight/thickness is 10mil/200gsm. It's perfect for framing.
I print with Epson ultrachrome giclée UV fade resistant pigment inks - some of the best inks you can find.
I can also make maps on canvas, cotton rag and other exotic materials.

I use a unique process to restore my maps that is massively time consuming and labour intensive. Hunting down the original maps can take months.

Almost all of my maps look amazing at large sizes (200cm, 6.5ft+) and I can frame and deliver them to you as well, via special oversized courier. Contact me to discuss your specific needs.
