The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Seventeenth-century maps of Scotland, such as those published by Mercator and Blaeu, represented significant advancements in regional geographical survey and copperplate engraving during the Early Modern period.

Early printed maps were produced using incised copper plates printed onto laid rag paper with oil-based inks, after which outline colouring was often applied by hand using mineral pigments.

Authentic prints from this era typically exhibit a visible plate mark impression around the border, chain lines and watermarks in the laid paper, and central fold marks indicating inclusion in an atlas.

A framed historical map serves as a focal point when hung above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a gallery wall alongside contemporary line drawings or modern photography.

To prevent light damage and paper degradation, mount the print using acid-free archival materials, display it behind UV-filtering glass, and position it away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity.
