Islay and Jura (1934) Fine Art Print

from GBP 39.00

Premium restored vintage map, giclee printed on matte fine art paper.

Using the magic of 3D modelling technology, this map of the isles of Islay and Jura has been restored from a 1934 map by the Edinburgh-based cartographers John Bartholomew and Son Limited. The original print has been scanned using a museum-quality scanner, colour-corrected, and carefully restored to remove damage, while still retaining the feel of the original vintage map. The map has then been combined with satellite data to produce a strikingly realistic relief effect.

These islands, famed for their whisky and beauty, are vividly brought to life using these techniques.

    • This is not a 3D map, but a 2D fine art print.

    • This map is intended as a decorative print to be viewed from a distance, not as a traditional reference map.

    • Due to the technique used, areas may be obscured by shadows, particularly where relief is most extreme (e.g. mountainous regions).

    • Print colours may vary slightly to those displayed on your monitor, due to differences in screen calibration and brightness.

    • These maps were originally designed to be printed at the larger 24x32 inch (60×80cm) size. Fine details, including labels, may be too small to easily read at 18x24 inch (45×60cm) size. The effect remains just as striking though! 

  • All our maps are printed on a beautifully thick museum-quality fine art paper. The paper's bright undertone produces maps with rich colours and strong contrasts, while retaining the vintage feel of the originals. 

    • 200gsm premium matte fine art paper.

    • Sustainably sourced (FSC certified).

    • Giclée printed using archival inks that will last for decades without fading.
