View across the commercial traffic and buildings along BC Highway 3 towards the Rocky Mountains as seen from Cranbrook, British Columbia in March 2010. Signs include Esso, Denny's, Chevron, Subway, Day's Inn, KFC and Scotiabank. Of course, I take many photos of scenery without the urban foreground; but in so many Canadian towns signs such as these are quite common.

I restore the maps in my workshop and then reproduce, customise and frame them to suit my customers' needs. I guarantee that you cannot find higher quality maps anywhere else. *** About this map *** This is the greatest old map of London ever created. Put together by surveyor and cartographer John Rocque and engraver John Pine in 1746, this map has an incredible level of detail. The cities of London and Westminster are already quite developed, but south of the river in Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham it's still mostly fields. This map was originally published in 24 sheets. The map shown here is sheet F1, focusing on the space between Shoreditch High Street and Whitechapel Rd - the A10 and A11 in modern road terms - in the boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets. Spitalfields is perhaps the most obvious landmark here, along with Brick Lane and Shoreditch, though you might be able to recognise some other landmarks if you know the area well. Take a look at the listing images and you'll see that, even by the mid-18th century, many of London's street names and landmarks already exist - particularly in built-up areas like Westminster and the City of London. It's a different story south of the river, of course - parts of Southwark may be recognisable if you look closely, but Lambeth is just a handful of roads and fields that no longer exist. This map looks great at all sizes from 12x16 inches (30x40cm), to 16x20 inches (40x50cm) and 18x24 inches (45x60cm). But it looks even better when printed large. I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 50 inches tall (125cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options. The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24 inch (45x60cm) version of this map. If you're looking for the whole map of London, which I can print and frame at sizes up to a few meters wide, see this listing: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/819774866/full-map-of-london-in-1746-by-john. This large map is the ultimate statement piece for your study or drawing room. This map covers a huge swathe of central London, from Bethnal Green and Mile End in the east to Hyde Park and Chelsea in the west. From Hoxton and Marylebone in the North, to parts of Chelsea, Newington Butts and Deptford in the south. If you're looking for other maps of London, including big ones that include the London suburbs, see my listings here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OldmapsShop?section_id=29386102 You can order the map itself, or you can order a framed version. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that really makes our maps pop out when on a wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame. We use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) in our frames - it's less reflective than glass and better for transport. My museum-quality maps are printed on acid free archival paper with Epson ultrachrome giclée inks. *** CUSTOMERS FROM THE US, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA *** Your map will be sent from a specialist printer in your country, not from the UK. I work with specialist printers around the world so that I can print and dispatch your map from nearby, rather than from the UK. I have worked with each of these printers for a long time and have carefully checked their quality. You will get a perfect old map, I assure you. This means your map will get to you quickly, you won't pay any customs duty, and it cuts down on CO2 from flying my maps across the world! Message me if you have any questions.
