This is a restored vintage 1904 USGS map (1936 reprint) of Baltimore, MD, with modern hillshade applied.
We take vintage maps, remove stains, blemishes, tears and stamps, while maintaining the aged character of the document. The patina may include small irregularities or discolorations, but nothing that will detract from the beauty of the antique map.
As you examine it closely, you will notice that the modern hillshade doesn’t always align perfectly with the vintage map. Shorelines shift, wetlands are filled, docks and piers come and go. Hillsides are excavated for quarries or freeways, dams are built and valleys flooded. Surveying techniques have become more precise, and landscapes more accurately documented in modern cartographic data. Many of these differences can be seen in every map, and can be fascinating to observe.
These are museum-quality posters made on thick and durable matte paper.
