FAQs

Richard Blome was a prominent English publisher and cartographer active during the late 17th century, known for producing regional county maps featured in publications such as Britannia (1673). These copperplate engravings documented English counties alongside coats of arms and topographical features.

Maps from this era were printed via copperplate engraving onto handmade laid paper. Fine line details were etched into a metal plate, inked, and impressed onto the paper, with watercolour washes subsequently applied by hand to highlight county boundaries, heraldry, and waterways.

Authentic maps from this period typically exhibit a central vertical fold line from atlas binding, visible chain lines and watermarks within the laid paper, indentation marks around the image border from the copper plate, and period-appropriate engraving typography.

An antique framed map serves as a focal point when placed above a desk, along a hallway, or incorporated into a gallery wall. Combining traditional cartography with contemporary lighting and minimalist furniture creates a balanced interior contrast.

Keep antique paper artwork away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of hand-applied watercolour pigments. Displaying the item behind UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounting boards prevents foxing, discoloration, and structural degradation over time.
