Fine Art Paper – Flat 2D Print
Frame
Description

We created this map with the illusion of 3D by applying Digital Elevation Data and meticulously adding shaded relief to the landscape of the original 1957 Virginia map. The shading is printed on the paper and not a result of the map protruding from the surface.

Please Note: Text on the map can be difficult to read due to the small font size and the age of the map. In areas where the relief shading covers the text, the underlying text is not legible. We suggest the largest size map for better details though the text may still be covered in the darker areas.

It’s beautiful.

Overall it’s quite beautiful. It invites closer inspection, so I’m going to use museum quality acrylic with the frame. (Scratch, smudge resistant and lighter than glass!). The mountainous areas of the WSW are very dark so it’s tricky to make out town names, but the dark/light contrast of the mountains and tidewater area makes the map even more striking. The paper and printing are of excellent quality.

Beautiful Vintage Map

The map is very well done and well saturated. It looks three dimensional at times. The wood frame is nice and simple. My only complaint is that the glass used in the grame is a bit too reflective. If I could do it again, I’d have ordered the print and had it custom framed with a museum-quality glass.

Dark shading obscures text

This is a high quality map printed on excellent quality and heavy weight paper stock. The shading used to provide contours in relief is very dark, however. It is so dark that the map text is unreadable in those shaded areas. Jared explained that this was simply the way the map was originally produced and he was kind enough to offer a return and full refund. I decided to keep the map despite this issue since it is still a beautiful piece. Just be advised of the legibility issue if you order this map.
