FAQs

Robert Morden was a prominent English cartographer and publisher in the late seventeenth century, best known for his series of county maps produced for Camdens Britannia in 1695. These maps were noted for their revised place names, regional divisions, and ornate title cartouches.

Georgian maps were typically printed from hand-engraved copper plates onto handmade rag paper. Additional details, such as county boundaries and title cartouches, were frequently highlighted using watercolour washes applied by hand.

Authentic engraved maps generally exhibit visible plate impression lines around the border where the copper plate pressed into the paper. Examination under light often reveals chain lines, watermarks, and light surface foxing consistent with period rag paper.

Framed antique maps work effectively as focal points in traditional studies, hallway gallery walls, or positioned above a sideboard. Pairing classic cartography with contemporary framing creates a balanced contrast within modern schemes.

Display framed maps away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to prevent fading and paper warping. Utilizing UV-protective glass and archival acid-free mounting materials helps preserve the paper and original hand colouring.
