Intro Established in 1984, the Unique Maps Co. sources the world's finest & rarest old maps from libraries & private collections around the world. I restore the maps in my workshop & then reproduce, customise & frame them to suit my customers' needs. I guarantee that you cannot find higher quality maps anywhere else. About this map This is an attractive, sepia, vintage toned world map from 1898 by Edward Stanford. By this point our cartography of the world was fairly accurate, & this is one of the earliest, full-size, accurate maps of the world. Established in 1984, The Unique Maps Co. sources rare original maps from around the world, & then lovingly restores them at a workshop in London. I guarantee that you cannot buy prints of these old maps, at this high quality, anywhere else. This map has many interesting & unique details, such as the paths of some of the earliest telegraph lines (undersea cables) between Europe & North America. There are also sea currents, trade winds, & primary ocean mail routes. Because of the huge amount of detail on this map, I would recommend buying the 36x20 inch (90x50cm) map at least. The map looks nice at 24x13 inches (60x33cm) but some of the labels & place names will be very small. Please note that there are white strips along the edge of the map if you buy the unframed map at smaller sizes (36x20 & 24x13 inches). They are very easy to snip off - or they may help you with framing. The other sizes, & all framed maps, are all exactly as per the listing images. I can print & frame this map at sizes up to 250cm wide - please get in touch if you'd like a larger size, or to discuss framing options & prices. This map, which uses the Mercator projection which was popular at the time, is in great condition & has been lovingly restored by me. This world map would make a perfect gift for someone who loves to travel or explore, or it would look great as wall art on your own walls! 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
