Geological Map of England and Wales

Geological maps have a particular fascination because they show the land twice over, revealing both the familiar outline of a country and the hidden structure beneath it. This antique map of England and Wales does exactly that, with coloured strata, coastal detail and period labelling arranged in the crisp, elegant style that makes nineteenth-century scientific cartography so enduringly appealing. A striking choice for anyone drawn to British geology, vintage map decor and antique science prints, it brings depth, character and a strong sense of place to a study, office, hallway or gallery wall. 

This is an edited reproduction made from antique/public domain source imagery.

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.
