This wonderful old map of Hampshire was originally published in 1947. It was created by Ernest Clegg.
Located on the South Coast of England, Hampshire is known for its national parks and maritime history. The county also has two of Europe's largest ports, Southampton and Portsmouth.
In addition to a detailed map of the county of Hampshire in the middle, Clegg has adorned this map with many highly detailed and beautiful illustrations and facts about notable landmarks. These include Winchester, Southampton, Radar and Bournemouth.
If you take a closer look at the map, you can see the Submarine defence lines, which comes as no surprise when almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy is based on the South Coast.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x30in (61x76cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 90in (229cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16in (50.8x40.7cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x30in (61x76cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Hampshire and Isle of Wight by John Cary in 1794.
The locations on this map include: Southampton, Isle of Wight, Bournemouth, Winchester, Portsmouth, Whitchurch, Andover, Eastleigh, Havant, Hayling Island and New Alresford.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Hampshire or someone who comes from the county of Hampshire.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
