Continue reading"Sevilla Perspectiva General," crafted by the renowned Manuel Garcia Fuentes in 1950, offers a captivating glimpse into the heart of Seville, Spain. This exquisite city street map is not merely a navigational tool but a work of art, adorned with intricate illustrations of the city's most significant landmarks. From the majestic Catedral de Sevilla to the historic Torre del Oro, each vignette is meticulously detailed, providing a visual feast for history enthusiasts and map collectors alike. The map's border, embellished with advertisements for Jerez-Xeres Sherry, underscores the region's rich cultural and economic ties to the sherry industry, adding an extra layer of historical context.
One of the most striking features of this map is its detailed representation of Seville's urban structure, highlighting notable neighborhoods such as Triana. This historic district, situated across the Río Guadalquivir, is renowned for its vibrant culture and deep-rooted traditions. The map's inclusion of Triana offers a window into the soul of Seville, showcasing the area's narrow streets, bustling markets, and lively atmosphere. This neighborhood, along with others depicted on the map, paints a vivid picture of Seville's diverse and dynamic urban landscape.
The map also beautifully captures Seville's significant landmarks, each illustrated with precision and care. The Alcázar of Seville, a stunning example of Mudéjar architecture, stands out as a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Nearby, the Archivo de Indias, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is prominently featured, emphasizing Seville's historical importance as a center of trade and exploration during the Age of Discovery. These landmarks, among others, make this map an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the architectural and historical treasures of Seville.
Seville's natural beauty is also well-represented on this map, with the Río Guadalquivir flowing gracefully through the city. This iconic river has played a crucial role in Seville's history, serving as a vital trade route and a source of inspiration for countless artists and writers. The map's depiction of the river, along with the lush Parque de María Luisa, offers a glimpse into the city's serene and picturesque landscapes. These natural features provide a perfect counterbalance to the bustling urban environment, highlighting Seville's unique blend of nature and culture.
Manuel Garcia Fuentes' artistic prowess is evident in every detail of this map, from the ornate border to the carefully illustrated landmarks. His ability to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal makes this map a true masterpiece. The inclusion of a compass rose and a key to the monuments further enhances its utility, making it both a beautiful and practical addition to any collection. Whether you are a history buff, a map enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates fine art, "Sevilla Perspectiva General" is a must-have piece that captures the essence of one of Spain's most enchanting cities.

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 100in (250cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
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.
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.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Every Unique Maps piece begins with an authentic cartographic source or an original design from our London studio.
For our historic maps, we source rare originals from libraries, archives, auction houses and private collections around the world. We carefully restore each map for print—repairing age-related damage, balancing colour and improving clarity while preserving its original detail, texture and character.
Once restored, the map is prepared for your chosen size and finish. Your piece is then printed and, where selected, framed close to its delivery destination.
Our map prints use acid-free 200gsm archival matte paper and fade-resistant pigment inks, creating a rich, non-glossy finish designed to last. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
Canvas, cotton-rag and other specialist presentations are also available. Learn more about our materials and finishes.
Personalising your map
You can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. For personalised designs, we send a proof before printing and you can request changes before approval.
For more complex bespoke commissions, contact our design team.
Original or Aged
Choose Original for true-to-source colour, or Aged for a warmer, richer antique character created with our specialist ageing process. See examples of our Aged maps.
If you are not happy with your order for any reason, contact me and I'll get it fixed ASAP, free of charge. Please see my returns and refund policy for more information.
