Antique, hand-coloured world maps

Heirloom takes its cue from hand-coloured globes and nineteenth-century atlases: warm parchment land washed in soft country tints, painted relief, teal shallows and letterspaced serif capitals for every country.

It is the style for a vintage world map that is not a reproduction: the geography, borders and place names are current, the look is heirloom.

Every one of the 31 projections below can be ordered in this style, with all place names in one of 25 languages, your own title and up to eight of your own places — printed to order on 200 g/m² matte art paper and delivered rolled.
