Cornwall has long inspired affection out of all proportion to its size, with its rugged coastline, ancient towns and distinct identity giving it a place all its own in British history. This antique map, dated 1750 and drawn by Emanuel Bowen, captures the county in elegant period detail, with its towns, boundaries and coastline laid out in the richly decorative style that makes eighteenth-century cartography so enduringly appealing. A striking choice for anyone drawn to Cornwall decor, vintage map prints and antique British cartography, it brings character, calm and a strong sense of place to a study, hallway, office or gallery wall.

Print quality
Printed on beautifully textured 300gsm cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks, this reproduction has a crisp, characterful finish that suits antique cartography especially well. The heavyweight fine art paper gives the image depth and presence, while the archival inks help preserve its subtle tones, fine linework and intricate printed detail.
