Old Map of Lancashire: Lancastria
Price range: £35.55 through £59.95
LANCASTRIA PALATINATUS ANGLIS LANCASTER AND LANCASHIRE by Peter Schenk & Gerard Valck
Schenk & Gerard Valck were brother-in-laws whou acquired various copper plates from Johannes Janssonius and published this map in the late 17th century. Peter Schenk the Elder (c. 1660–1711) was a German engraver, cartographer, and art dealer who along with Valk was well known for acquiring such plates and republishing many maps much as The Old Map Company has done since 1989 and more laterly by its imitators albeit in modern digital formats. Schenk & Valk were also known for recreating globes. Typical of the period this old map features two beautifully illustrated cartouches and this edition features relatively light colouring of boundaries in a more subtle style than the Blaue maps of the period.- Stunning giclée fine art print on authentically aged heavy textured paper

Fine Art Map Reproductions – Museum-Quality Printing
Unlike most online offerings, our maps are produced entirely in-house, not outsourced to print-on-demand or drop-shipping services. This allows complete control over quality while offering better value. Each map begins with a high-resolution original, carefully enhanced and printed to order using archival papers and pigment inks for exceptional clarity, depth, and longevity. Every piece is personally overseen — no map leaves our workshop unless it is of a quality we would be proud to display ourselves.
Authentic Old Map Paper & Accurate Colour Reproduction
Paper choice is essential to the authenticity of our maps. We use specially sourced 190gsm paper made in the UK from pure materials and traditionally pressed with natural woollen felts. This process creates a subtle, randomly textured surface that closely resembles an original antique document. Likewise the use of premium quality ink fully saturates the paper, producing remarkable clarity, depth, and historical character. Colour fastness and sharpness will remain good for in excess of 100 years!
