FAQs

Seventeenth-century county cartography refers to copperplate-engraved regional maps produced during the golden age of Dutch and English mapmaking. Cartographers such as Joan Blaeu and John Speed created highly detailed maps featuring decorative cartouches, heraldic coats of arms, and topographical features for compiled national atlases.

Maps from this era were printed onto handmade rag paper using copperplate engraving techniques. The monochrome ink impressions were subsequently hand-coloured using watercolor washes, often applied by specialised artists or colourists.

Authentic period engravings typically display a clear plate mark impression around the border where the copperplate pressed into the damp paper. Additional indicators include chain lines and watermarks visible when light passes through the rag paper, along with natural age-related foxing and minor oxidisation.

Antique maps add historical context and visual interest when hung in traditional studies, dining rooms, staircases, or above sideboards. Combining dark wood frames with neutral mounts allows the artwork to complement both classic English country interiors and contemporary eclectic schemes.

To prevent fading and deterioration, display antique prints away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Frame the print using acid-free mounting materials and UV-protective glazing to prevent discoloration, dampness, and foxing over time.
