Famous antique maps. ?Hand colored. Our fascination with early cartography knows no bounds. Our globes are made with original printing and manufacturing techniques. The selection covers a wide range of styles, sizes and eras. World and nautical maps have always been popular as wall d?cor. Wall maps are featured in several famous art works from the Dutch Baroque period. Whats special about our reproduction is the combination of high quality reprints on acid free paper combined with hand coloring in the classic aquarelle technique. Edges, shades, wash, every color except black, is truly hand applied. Some maps take days to color. They will not discolor as mechanically reproduced maps do.
