This is an exceedingly rare, old full colour map of Norfolk created by master mapmaker Joan Blaeu from his workshop in Amsterdam and originally published in this Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Sive Atlas Novus in 1665.
Originally handcoloured almost 400 years ago, this is one of the finest examples of this map that I've ever seen.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm) and 24x36 inches (61x91.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 37x50 inches (94x127cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (51x40.5cm) version of this map.
If you’re looking for more options, I have another interesting map of Norfolk by John Speed in 1611.
Most of Norfolk's most populous towns and cities have already popped into existence by the 1600s. Here are some of the places clearly visible in this old map of the county of Norfolk: Norwich, King's Lynn, Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Thetford, Dereham, Taverham, Wymondham, North Walsham, Downham Market, Attleborough, Diss, Caister, Hunstanton, Sheringham, Cromer, Fakenham and many more. But of course, many of them are spelt in their Early Modern English forms.
Take a look at the detailed images and try to spot your hometown! Feel free to message me if you want to confirm if a certain Norfolk town or village is on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from Norfolk or who has Norwich in their heart.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
