High-quality Reproduction
Maker: Reproduction.
High-quality hand-printed and hand-colored reproduction of an antique bird's eye view map of London, England, by William Maitland from 1738. With a key at the bottom labeling the buildings and roads of the city. This reproduction was made using a combination of modern technology and traditional methods, wherein an original is scanned, its likeness is digitally etched onto an engraving plate, then the plate is used to print the image in the traditional way, with a printing press. It is then hand colored and mounted onto linen cloth. Consists of twelve sheets that measure approx. 8 x 9 inches each. Overall size is approx. 24.5 x 37 inches to the paper edges, with approx. two inches of linen margin that can be folded under when framing the map. Also available as black and white print, see code REP407. For other reproductions made in this method, please see the left side bar category "Digitally Engraved Specialty Reproductions".
A few ideas for hanging/framing a reproduction map on cloth:
1) You can fold the cloth at the top back and sew it, making a tube for a dowel to go through, and hang it like a wall map.
2) Magnetic poster frame hangers can be purchased from Amazon in a variety of sizes.
3) Gromets could be put into the cloth and the map hung on hooks.
4) Professional framing. This will protect the map best in the long run, especially if using acid-free materials and UV protective glass.
5) Pushpins.
