An unusual map of England & Wales, showing a highly detailed view of the geology (rock formations) of the two nations. This geologist map was created by Roderick Impey Murchison and published by Chapman & Hall in 1843.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm), and 24x30 inches (61x76cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 40 x 50 inches (100 x125cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (50x40cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x30 inch 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.
There is an incredible level of detail on this map, with dozens of annotations, towns, and other landmarks. It is incredibly rare to find a detailed, full colour map from the 1840s. No matter what size map you get, you'll be able to read all of the smallest place names.
I also have a similargeological map of the entire British Isles. And we havea geological map of just Scotland, too.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone who has a fine taste in geology.
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.
