This wonderful old map of Wiltshire was originally published in 1801. It was created by John Cary.
Located in the southwest of England, Wiltshire is bordered by Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire and Gloucestershire. Wiltshire is famous for its prehistoric monuments, most famously Stonehenge (Wiltshire has more than any other county in England).
Wiltshire is also home to the "White Horses", patches of white chalk visible on hills which have been carved out of the chalk. The most famous is said to be over 3,000 years old and located nearby Dragon Hill, which is the oldest chalk-cut hill figure in Britain.
This map looks great at all sizes: 10x10 inches (25x25cm), 12x12in (31x31cm), 14x14 inches (36x36cm), 16x16in (41x41cm), 18x18in (46x46cm), 24x24 inches (61x61cm), 36x36 inches (92x92cm), 45x45 inches (114.5x114.5cm), 50x50 inches (127x127cm) and 60x60 inches (152.5x152.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 60in (152cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x18in (46x46cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x24 inches (61x61cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
The labels on this map are very small at 10x10 inches (25x25cm). The map is still very attractive, but you may struggle to read the smallest letters. Please buy a larger map if it's important to be able to read the map easily.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Wiltshire by Joan Blaeu in 1665.
The locations on this map include: Swindon, Salisbury, Marlborough, Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Warminster, Chippenham, Calne and Royal Wootton Bassett.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Wiltshire or someone who has Wiltshire close to 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.
