Product description
Create your own custom, unique version of one of the finest old, colour maps of London: C & J Greenwood's 1830 Map of London.
Originally published in six sheets, based on surveys between 1824 and 1826, the Greenwoods did their own surveys of London - to compete with the Ordnance Survey! By the 1820s much of London north of the river is significantly developed. Westminster, City of London and Finsbury all look very similar to modern day. Southwark too is very dense. The northern stretches of Lambeth are developed - but it's still fields further south. And Wandsworth hardly exists at all
You are not buying the whole map. You will get a personalised map focused on a specific part of London.
Variations
These custom-made old maps can be fully personalised. The 'standard' map is 24x18 inches with a black wood frame, but please get in touch if you'd like a different size, frame colour, or you're after a specific personalisation.
All sizes come framed and ready to hang. Unframed maps are available upon request.
Dimensions
8x10in, 12x12in, 12x16in, 16x16in, 16x20in, 18x18in, 18x24in, 24x24in, 24x36in, 30x40in, 36x36in, 37x50in or 45x45in
Made from
My maps are printed on extremely high quality matte paper, with Epson ultrachrome giclée inks. They look and feel just like an old map.
My frames are made from alder, a semi-hardwood that's responsibly sourced from renewable forests.
