Questa è una mappa gigante di Westminster, Città di Londra e fino a 10 miglia attorno tra il 1741 e il 1745 di John Rocque.

Questa mappa è composta da 4 pezzi o pannelli. Puoi appenderli come una griglia di quattro - e sembra superba! La dimensione minima è di 150 cm (60 pollici) di larghezza per 100 cm (40 pollici) di altezza in modo da poter leggere tutte le etichette e i nomi dei luoghi.

Questa è la migliore mappa di Londra del XVIII secolo e non sarebbe superata per più di 100 anni. Non ci sono davvero altre mappe di questa qualità di quest'epoca. È un'opportunità molto rara vedere i sobborghi di Londra quando erano per lo più città, villaggi e ... campi vuoti.

Alcune delle città, villaggi e sobborghi di Londra chiaramente visibili in questa mappa sono: Wimbledon, Hampstead, Highgate, Vauxhall, Richmond, Teddington, Petersham, Twickenham, Palazzo di Hampton Court, Surbiton, Putney, Wandsworth, Clapham, Brixton, Camberwell, Peckham, Kennington, New Cross, Deptford, Greenwich, Norwood, Dulwich, Woolwich, Rotherhithe, Southwark, Blackwall, Mile End, Bethnal Green, Stepney, Hoxton, Islington, Hackney, Dalston, Kingsland, Homerton, Clapton, Tottenham, Walthamstow, Stratford, Westham, Eastham, Acton, Hounslow... e molti altri!

Consiglio di acquistare questa mappa a 4 pannelli (quadrittico?) incorniciata in modo da poter garantire che sembri perfetta e possa andare direttamente sulla tua parete. Ma posso fornire la mappa non incorniciata se desideri incorniciarla tu stesso. Lavorerò con te per assicurarmi che ciascun pezzo della mappa abbia i margini giusti per consentire una cornice perfetta.

La mia cornice normale è una semplice cornice nera in legno che fa risaltare la mappa sulla parete e si adatta alla maggior parte dei tipi di decorazione d'interni. Ti prego di contattarmi se desideri una cornice diversa - ne ho centinaia tra cui scegliere.

Posso stampare e incorniciare questo quadrittico in dimensioni fino a 4 metri (160 pollici) di larghezza. Contattami se stai cercando un grande quadrittico.

Ho altre grandi mappe di Londra che funzionano bene in forma di trittico. Vedi qui: https://uniquemaps.co.uk/products/old-london-map-triptych-framed-antique-wall-art-1830-or-1898

Contattami se stai cercando qualcosa di veramente unico.

Questa mappa sarebbe un ottimo regalo di compleanno, di inaugurazione della casa o di Natale per qualcuno di Londra o che ha un interesse nella storia dell'Inghilterra e di Londra.

This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.

For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

My standard frame is a gallery style black ash hardwood frame. It is simple and quite modern looking. My standard frame is around 20mm (0.8in) wide.

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.

Six standard frame colours are available for free (black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white and antique gold). Custom framing and mounting/matting is available if you're looking for something else.

Most maps, art and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte (not shiny) cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced box wood frame, and then 'float' the piece within a wood frame. The end result is quite beautiful, and there's no glazing to get in the way.

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.

Alternatively, I can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag and other materials.

If you want to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read my size guide first.

My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.

I source original, 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.

Map personalisation

If you're looking for the perfect anniversary or housewarming gift, I can personalise your map to make it truly unique. For example, I can add a short message, or highlight an important location, or add your family's coat of arms.

The options are almost infinite. Please see my map personalisation page for some wonderful examples of what's possible.

To order a personalised map, select "personalise your map" before adding it to your basket.

Get in touch if you're looking for more complex customisations and personalisations.

Map ageing

I have been asked hundreds of times over the years by customers if they could buy a map that looks even older.

Well, now you can, by selecting Aged before you add a map to your basket.

All the product photos you see on this page show the map in its Original form. This is what the map looks like today.

If you select Aged, I will age your map by hand, using a special and unique process developed through years of studying old maps, talking to researchers to understand the chemistry of aging paper, and of course... lots of practice!

If you're unsure, stick to the Original colour of the map. If you want something a bit darker and older looking, go for Aged.

See some amazing examples of Aged maps.
