Berkshire 1645 — An Old Map by Willem Blaeu

Price range: £35.55 through £59.95

An old map of Berkshire, engraved and published by Willem Blaeu around 1645, showing the county during the mid-17th century with its towns, rivers, boundaries and decorative cartographic detail. Berkshire in the 17th century was shaped by the River Thames, market towns, rural estates and routes between London and the west of England. This map gives a view of the county before modern development changed its towns, roads and boundaries. The map is especially interesting for those with a connection to Berkshire, showing the county in a period when places such as Reading, Windsor, Newbury and Abingdon were already well-established centres of local life.

Fine Art Map Reproductions – Museum-Quality Printing

Unlike most online offerings, our maps are produced entirely in-house, not outsourced to print-on-demand or drop-shipping services. This allows complete control over quality while offering better value. Each map begins with a high-resolution original, carefully enhanced and printed to order using archival papers and pigment inks for exceptional clarity, depth, and longevity. Every piece is personally overseen — no map leaves our workshop unless it is of a quality we would be proud to display ourselves.

Authentic Old Map Paper & Accurate Colour Reproduction

Paper choice is essential to the authenticity of our maps. We use specially sourced 190gsm paper made in the UK from pure materials and traditionally pressed with natural woollen felts. This process creates a subtle, randomly textured surface that closely resembles an original antique document. Likewise the use of premium quality ink fully saturates the paper, producing remarkable clarity, depth, and historical character. Colour fastness and sharpness will remain good for in excess of 100 years!
