Product description

This is an exceedingly rare, full colour map of the world from 1651 by one of the founding fathers of cartography, John Speed.

Amongst collectors, the original version of this map is one of the rarest and most valuable old world maps. Back in 1651, our understanding of the world wasn't quite what it is today. California is an island! And there's no Antarctica or Australia - just the 'Southern Unknown Land'. Take a closer look at North America and there are some very early settlements on there - including some that have been completely fabricated by the mapmaker! And why does North America swing off wildly to the west in the top corner?

Variations

Available in the following sizes:

12x16in, 16x20in, 18x24in, 24x36in, 30x40in or 37x50in.

All sizes come framed and ready to hang. Unframed maps are available upon request.

If you order a personalised map, I will get in touch after you order to find out what short message you would like added to your map.

My personalisations perfectly blend into the map and look like they've been there for hundreds of years. This will make your map totally unique.

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.
