Normal people don’t have favorite cartographers, but I think many geographers do. I’ve simply fallen in love with the maps of Erwin Raisz. How? It’s not a name you hear too oft…
This is a digitally rendered map, derived from a geologic map from 1962. Digital Elevation Data (DEM), obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission is processed and digitally rendered to create a highly detailed elevation profile (printed on a flat surface - note: these prints are NOT raised relief maps). Prints are available in various sizes. As these images are high resolution renders with a high level of detail, large prints on professional photographic paper, metal or acrylic are available and provide stunning results! (**/***/****). __________________________________________________________ * These prints are printed on a flat surface (HD photo paper, HD metal or other material). The prints are NOT 3D or raised relief maps. ** Photo frames are NOT included and are shown for display purposes only. *** If you order a print on HD Metal (which looks beautiful!), please allow for for 7-14 business days processing time. Metal prints come with a mount for easy hanging (so no frame necessary!). Note: HD metal prints have a glossy finish. **** The legend on vintage prints are usually printed in smaller print beside the image. While the legend is visible on each print, please note that when ordering smaller size prints, reading glasses or a magnifying glass might be needed to read the legend text. If you like to have the artwork printed on other material (e.g. canvas, acrylic or fine art paper), please ask for a quote.

Hand drawn city map of Raalte (called after some Dutch town). The city is situated on two rivers, on of them being an affluent, ending in the other. It's drawn as a city as it could have grown in multiple centuries: city center, former bastions, station close to the river side, apparment buildings from the 70s and newer neighbourhoods surrounding the city. In a word: a very European city. Why it is called Raalte? Well, I just like place names ending on -e and after having made up twenty of them, I started to run out of own names, so started using real place names. 2011.

We created this map with the illusion of 3D by applying Digital Elevation Data and meticulously adding shaded relief to the landscape of the original 1962 Carte Tectonique Internationale De L'Eutope Geological map. The shading is printed on the paper and not a result of the map protruding from the surface. Bathymetry - the added terrain under sea level was created with data derived from Sonar imaging. Due to the inherent limitations of the data collection process, there are some areas that lack complete data resulting in lines and errors appearing on the Seafloor. These errors are part of the original data and not something we are able to manipulate or fix. Please Note: Text on the map can be difficult to read due to the small font size and the age of the map. In areas where the relief shading covers the text, the underlying text is not legible. We suggest the largest size map for better details though the text may still be covered in the darker areas. Available with or without Bathymetry data.
