Old Maps of Asia, Australia & the Pacific
Explore old maps of Asia, Australia and the Pacific, from richly engraved maps of India, China, Japan and Persia to early charts of Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the East Indies.
Created during the great age of exploration and the centuries that followed, these maps reveal how cartographers gradually pieced together distant coastlines, trading routes and unfamiliar interiors. Obsolete place names, uncertain boundaries and incomplete shorelines now provide a fascinating record of how these regions were once understood.
The collection includes work associated with John Speed, Victor Levasseur, James Cook, Abel Tasman and other influential mapmakers and explorers. Each map is carefully reproduced and printed individually to order in our Cornwall workshop using archival pigment inks and traditionally textured fine art paper.
Supplied unframed with free UK delivery, these historic map prints make distinctive wall art and thoughtful gifts for travellers, historians and anyone with a personal connection to Asia, Australia or the Pacific.
