Price range: £35.55 through £59.95
Old Map of Derbyshire 1645 engraved and published by William Blaeu Circa 1645
Whilst other counties in the 1645 series can boast great sieges or battles, Derbyshire in comparison is a relatively quiet county. Nevertheless, it was pivotal for both the Royalist and Parliamentarian armies as its central location meant garrisons placed here were often used for the resupplying of men and weapons. Garrisons were placed at key strategic locations such as Bolsover Castle, Winfield, Chatsworth and Tissington. Following his defeat at Naseby King Charles retreat took him through Derbyshire, engaging in small skirmishes on his way to Doncaster. By purchasing this map of Derbyshire at such a fascinating time in the county’s history you can track the movements of the opposing factions as they battle and siege their way into the history books. This map is also one of a series of maps created by the Dutch Blaeu firm of Amsterdam.

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!
