Expertly crafted, our maps are printed using the giclée technique on archival-grade paper or artist's cotton canvas, ensuring they are as enduring as they are beautiful. Choose from a variety of editions, including premium acrylite glazing with an FSC-certified wood frame, or opt for a "float framed" stretched canvas map for an elegant finish. Each map is a testament to quality and a distinctive piece of art that celebrates both history and personal stories.

Your personalised map of Nottingham is derived from original Ordnance Survey maps, spanning from the 1870s to the 1960s. These maps are renowned for their artistic charm and meticulous detail, initially created for scientific inquiries and public use. The 6-inch series of OS maps from the Victorian era, along with the 1:10,000 series, provide a profound level of detail and aesthetic appeal. These historical maps allow you to embark on a captivating journey through Nottingham’s past, making them a cherished artefact and a beautiful narrative artwork in its own right.

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 Nottingham, 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.
