Our maps are created with top-tier quality, using the giclée printing technique on archival-grade paper or artist's cotton canvas. This ensures longevity and immaculate clarity. Available in various styles, you can choose from a sleek acrylic frame or a classic FSC-certified wood frame. Alternatively, opt for a "float framed" stretched canvas for a sophisticated touch, enhancing the appeal of your custom historical map.

The map of St Albans is crafted from authentic Ordnance Survey maps, a hallmark of British cartographic excellence since the late 19th century. These maps, originally produced for meticulous geographical surveys, are celebrated for their artistic charm and high precision. Featuring the 6-inch and 1:10,000 OS map series, they offer rich details and aesthetic appeal, making them a beloved choice for historians and collectors alike. Embrace a slice of history with this beautifully detailed representation of St Albans, personally tailored to your own narrative.

Please note you are purchasing a fully customised old map. Modern landmarks, such as your house, may not have been built yet! You can contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

Generally, larger maps look much better than smaller maps, because you can enjoy all of the smaller details. If you need a smaller map, I would suggest ‘zooming in’ so that the map covers a smaller area.

Because these maps are custom made to order, we can make you a map that looks great at at any size, from very small (8x10in/20x25cm) all the way to a few metres. If you are looking for a very large map, please get in touch.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

Every map can be personalised or customised, for example if you want to mark your house or street on the map. The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This personalised map would make a wonderful housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or work leaving gift for someone from St Albans, or someone who works there.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or on artist’s cotton canvas. Several frame choices are available for free, or custom framing is available for an additional fee. Please get in touch if you’re looking to order a very large map for a hotel or office, or if you’re looking for a size that isn’t available on my shop.
