The Kings and Queens of England have had a huge impact on the direction of the country throughout its long history. From William the Conqueror to Henry VIII's establishment of the Church of England and our own Queen Elizabeth II's unequalled years of service, we take a look at the men and women who have worn the English crown.

This 17th-century antique map of London and Middlesex (England), by cartographer John Speed, is a charming addition to home or office decor. This map was originally printed in 1676 and contains cityscape images of London and Westminster. My fine art reproduction is printed in archival inks on Epson ultra-premium luster paper for lasting beauty. Map art prints are available in six different sizes: 8 x 10 inches, A4 (8.3 x 11.7 inches), 11 x 14 inches, A3 (11.7 x 16.5 inches), 16 x 20 inches, and 24 x 30 inches. They are shipped flat in a rigid mailer, except for the 24 x 30 inch size, which is rolled in a tube. Your art print arrives ready to frame and hang on your wall! SIZES: Larger prints offer better legibility of the map labels and text than smaller prints. In addition, the different length-to-width ratios of the various sizes of prints offered here result in slightly different crops of the artwork: An A3 print will look slightly different than a 16 x 20 inch print. PLEASE NOTE: This is a reproduction of a map that is hundreds of years old, and the image shows discoloration, foxing, and occasionally other damage to the original paper. The borders of the map may not be perfectly rectangular or parallel with each other. These add to the charm and antique appearance of your print.
