Charleston South Carolina, issued in 1900 by the eminent American mapmaker George F. Cram, presents a richly detailed city plan of the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers at a moment of poised transition. Executed in cerographic printing, its vibrant color blocks and crisp linework distinguish districts, thoroughfares, and the city’s working waterfront with remarkable clarity. Ornate cartouches and careful late-19th-century embellishments frame a composition that is both useful and elegant, inviting close study of streets, public places, and civic institutions. As a city map, it is especially compelling for how it captures the historic core—church spires, market streets, and river edges—just as Charleston enters the modern twentieth century but before large-scale redevelopment recast its neighborhoods.
Cram’s plan organizes the peninsula’s famed street grid with a legibility that rewards exploration. King Street and Meeting Street run like spines through an intricate weave of cross streets—Beaufain, Wentworth, George, Tradd, and Society—while Church and East Bay converge toward the storied tip of the Battery. To the northwest, Cannonborough coheres around Cannon Street and Ashley Avenue, an area of growing residences knit to commerce along King. Nearby Radcliffeborough is annotated with a small military academy, and the Citadel campus appears as expanses of largely open ground—an eloquent cartographic pause that hints at future growth. This interplay of dense blocks and institutional greens conveys the period’s urban planning ethos with uncommon precision.
At the peninsula’s upper reaches, the map traces Charleston’s evolving landscape of leisure and memory. Hampton Park is shown in the context of the Washington Race Course—at the time a racecourse named in honor of George Washington—capturing the transition from track to city parkland that would soon define the area. The adjacent Public Cemetery and Magnolia Cemetery extend a contemplative green corridor toward the Cooper River, their curving lanes and ordered plots contrasting with the rectilinear city grid. Together these spaces reveal how Charlestonians balanced recreation, commemoration, and the preservation of open ground as the city grew northward, making this an especially revealing urban portrait.
Waterfront orientation is another strength of the map. Along the Cooper River, industrial frontage and rail connections align with East Bay Street and Morrison Drive, while Cunnington Avenue leads inland toward the cemeteries and rail yards. On the Ashley side, the street network steps down to the water in measured increments, with Murray Boulevard and the East Battery tracing the city’s celebrated seawall and promenade. Cram carefully plots train lines threading the peninsula, signaling Charleston’s integration into regional commerce at the dawn of the new century. The result is a lucid depiction of how streets, docks, and rails interlocked to shape everyday movement and economic life.
George F. Cram’s cartographic discipline underpins every element of this plan. A leading American mapmaker of the late nineteenth century, he excelled at city mapping that fused aesthetic refinement with practical intelligence, here harnessing cerography to deliver vivid, stable color and exceptional legibility. His ornamental cartouches, calibrated color palette, and precise labeling transform an urban diagram into a portrait—one that registers neighborhoods like Cannonborough and Radcliffeborough, the Citadel’s reserved grounds, and the arterial sweep from Tradd to Cannon with authoritative clarity. As a document of early-twentieth-century urban development in Charleston, this map endures as both a work of art and an indispensable guide to the city’s physical and cultural geography.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
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, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
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.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
