I restore the maps in my workshop and then reproduce, customise and frame them to suit my customers' needs. I guarantee that you cannot find higher quality maps anywhere else. *** About this map *** Published in 1581 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this is probably the first (and rarest) printed map of Norwich. If Shakespeare visited Norwich, this is what it would've looked like. This map was first published in Civitates Orbis Terrarum - the Cities of the World - which was a cartographical masterpiece featuring 546 maps. Norwich was a pretty big town almost 450 years ago. But the only structures you'll likely be able to identify are the city walls and the castle. You may recognise that some of the streets are in the same position too. This would make a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for someone from Norwich or who has East Anglia in their heart. This map looks great at all sizes from 12x18 inches (30x40cm), to 16x20 inches (40x50cm) and 24x36 inches (60x90cm). But it looks even better when printed large. I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70 inches (180cm) wide. Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options. The model in the listing images is holding the 24x18 inch (60x45cm) version of this map. You can order the map itself, or you can order a framed version. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that really makes our maps pop out when on a wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame, or to frame one of the larger maps. We use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) in our frames - it's less reflective than glass and better for transport. My museum-quality maps are printed on acid free archival paper with Epson ultrachrome giclée inks. *** CANVAS MAP INFO *** Some of my maps are available as canvas prints. These are 'box canvases' - the map is printed on canvas, and then stretched over a wooden frame. They come with brackets on the back and are 'ready to hang'. My maps look fantastic when printed on canvas, but please note that canvas reduces the sharpness of my maps. So, for example, a small label might be legible on paper, but too small to read on a canvas map. Generally, most of my maps should be fully legible at 24x36 inches (60x90cm). But please get in touch if you want me to check if a specific label will be legible.
